Is there some other way to make yast happy and recognize that Java IS indeed installed in the system?
i also failed (ignorance?) to move from SUN Java 6 to 7 on my 11.4 day-before-last--the same day my banks locked me out because i was running 'old' and 'dangerous' software!
tried it with YaST Software Management and then zypper...both installed ok but neither Firefox nor Chrome could find/use it..
I'm using 1.6 JRE because that's the one that they assume I have installed. Banks, institutions, code generated for windows that also works in Linux and which balks if java is from a different vendor with strange errors... so yes, I have to use JRE. I'm not a java expert and do not know how to tell each java program which of the installed java versions to use, except to make another one the default java with the updatealternatives thing.
