JPackage Java for FC4
From FedoraNEWS.ORG
Written by Paul Howarth on 2005-06-28
- Updated 2005-10-06 for Sun Java 1.5.0 update 5
- Updated 2006-01-16 for Sun Java 1.5.0 update 6
- Updated 2006-02-09 for official JPackage update 6 release
- Updated 2006-02-09 for cleaner installation process
Here are step-by-step instructions for building Java packages from jpackage.org for FC4 based on the Java Package Recommendations in the Fedora Core 4 Release Notes (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/):
6.1.8. Java Package Recommendations
Fedora Core 4 users are advised not to use the Java RPM provided by Sun. It contains Provides that conflict with names used in packages provided as part of Fedora Core 4. Because of this, Sun Java might disappear from an installed system during package upgrade operations. Fedora Core 4 users should use either the RPM from jpackage.org or manually install the Sun Java tarball into /opt. Sun Java 1.5+ is recommended for stability purposes.

Check java version
[localhost i586]$ java -version java version "1.5.0_06" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing) [localhost i586]$

Firefox plugin
If you've installed java-1.5.0-sun-plugin and you want to use it with Firefox or any other mozilla-based browser, you'll need to set up the link manually as there is a small bug in the java-1.5.0-sun-plugin package that causes it not to set up the link properly.
[localhost i586]$ cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [localhost plugins]$ sudo rm -f libjavaplugin_oji.so [localhost plugins]$ sudo ln -s ../../../lib/jvm/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
Removing any existing libjavaplugin_oji.so link should only be necessary if you've previously installed a different version of java.

Switching between java implementations
The JPackage java RPMs support switching between java implementations using the "alternatives" system.
[localhost ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java There are 3 programs which provide 'java'.
