This is really a question for Sun and their "install page"
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install.html. You want the linux
instructions for the self extracting binary.
I don't know if the rpm from Sun is good or not, but I know the Sun jdk
that redhat gives out does not do what we need because they rearranged
some files.
Last time I did this, I went on their site and downloaded the "self
extracting binary"
j2sdk-1_4_0-linux-i386.bin
and when you run that, it opens up wherever you run it. I mean it
creates a directory j2sdk1.4.0 or something like that and puts a bunch
of stuff in it. I moved that dir to /usr/local.
I see now on the Sun website they have version 1.4.1, It might be a
pretest version, I can't tell through their mumbo jumbo. I GUESS you
could grab that, and if you installed that into /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1,
say, then you could trick swarm into using it with
ln -sf /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1 /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0
That works, in my experience with other java editions..
Now, which exact package would you use?
Start here:
http://java.sun.com/downloads.html
No matter what I do, it seems to want me to have 1.4.1, because even if
I choose 1.4.0 for all platforms, it takes me to 1.4.1? page.
Right now I'm looking the download page for 1.4.1, since I don't have
that yet:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html
I want the one for SDK (second column) unnder linux where it says "self
extracting file"
After I click that, it asks me some license stuff, then I can download this
j2sdk-1_4_1-linux-i586.bin
Apparently, with 1.4.1, there is no more i386. How interesting!
That download will take me about 30 minutes.
If you want to be absolutely save, go the 1.4.0 route.

Hi,
I went to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/install-linux.html and found
that the rpm has an i586 (e.g., j2sdk-1_4_0_<version
number>-linux-i586-rpm.bin) there--can I still download this software
and use it to replace my old j2sdk-1_3_1_03-linux-i386-rpm?
For how to download: should I (in a Windows web browser) get to the
above Sun website, save the above 1.4.0 into a hard drive, write it to a
CD, and then go to linux to use RPM to install? or any other alternatives?
Thanks,
Li
