Sorry I am unable to thread this message with those that have gone before. I
have to use a different mail client, which is a consequence of the progress
of "Jikes".
To review: I had been unable to install Jikes, and Bogdan was kind enough to
direct me to
http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=Jikes&distro=openSUSE_102,
which contains a pointer to a site at which the jikes package is available. I
found and selected the x86_64 flavor of the program, to match my hardware.
Installing the package seemed successful (there was a notice announcing this).
I rebooted, to assure myself that the installation actually "took".
Writing "jikes" in the Search field of the lizard menu brought up a line
reading , and I clicked on it -- which produced nothing
visible. (Running jikes with no arguments is supposed to bring up a help
screen).
Much worse, the three Java programs on which I rely no longer start; clicking
on their desktop icons does nothing whatever. Apparently jikes, which is
itself a Java program has done somehow screwed up the Java installation.
I tried to start one of the java programs manually, by which is easy to do,
and which I have done before. The result is as follows:

I have no idea how to proceed in this case, and would be grateful for any
advice or comment.
