Re: [SLE] Changing from Java 1.4 to Java 1.5 using Yast
Hi
I just finished an install SuSE 10 from the Eval-DVD. It came with Java 1.4 but I also need 1.5. If possible I woild like to keep both. I know that 1.5 is available from the ftp site. Can I just change my install location in YAST to one of the mirrors and install 1.5 and when I am done switch back to install source to DVD? Do I have to do some more manipulation? Is there a README somewhere?
If you want both, and don't want to break stuff, then I'd say just install it from the Sun website. Then setup your local ./etc/profile to have the 1.5 version. The Yast-installed apps will still use the 1.4. As for me, I just installed 1.5 from yast and dropped 1.4. No reason to have it, AFAIK. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
With absolutely no warranty :) I offer this script. It uses the "alternatives" api to install jdk 1.5 alongside the older version. (check in case the distribution version is different from what my scrip references!) The alternatives stuff seems to address a difficult problem fairly effectively, so you might want to give the man pages a glance. It's fairly complex (and I'm not an expert in it!), but you'll get the idea fairly quickly, and it seems to make sense. Given that the existing stuff is installed using it, this is probably the most effective way. HTH Cheers, Simon --- Kai Ponte <kai@perfectreign.com> wrote:

Well, let's try again: this time, I'll put it inline, where it risks line ending corruption, but is less likely to be stripped as an attachment. Again, You'll probably need to change the java version numbers, You know how to use :%s/blah/blurb/g in vi, or something similar, yes? If you're about to change them all by hand, get back to me, you don't need to do that. (The script should probably use varables for this, but whatever!)
