Install jdk1.5.0 under Fedora core 4
I used to use JDK1.4.2. However JDK 1.5.0 was released long time ago. Today, I got it updated. Here are the steps for newbies: 1. Download Jdk1.5.0. This is a must  . Everone know where to get it.anyway, here is the address: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp The newest version is JDK 5.0 Update 4. you can choose Linux self-extracting file or Linux RPM in self-extracting file. For me, I use Linux self-extracting file (jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin) 2. Change the directory to where you save the .bin file. then run/execute it. CONSOLE ./jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin A directory jdk1.5.0_04 will be extracted automatically. After that, move the directory jdk1.5.0_04 to /usr/local/. Easy!!?? 3.Setup evironment variable. For normal user, you need to edit your user profile it locates in your home directory, ~/.bashrc use you favorite text editor to open it, and add the follow content into it. CODE JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jddk1.5.0_04 PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar export JAVA_HOME PATH CLASSPATH 4.install java plugin for firefox CONSOLE ln -s /usr/local/dk1.5.0_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /root/.mozilla/plugins/ |

Well it doesn't look too hard to do, but what advatages does 1.5.0 bring that aren't present in 1.4.x ? Is there anything that is so urgent that we can't wait for pre packaged RPMs.

only redhat based package managed distro's can properly use RPM's. that is one reason.
anouther is that version 1.5 has a 64bit version available. |

Is there anything that is so urgent that we can't wait for pre packaged RPMs.  Well JDK 1.5 has a thing called generaic which is similar to STL. Also the JRE has improved UI and Performance ..especially the JNLP aka Java Web Start. It has its advantages ..but I think Java 1.4 will stick around for another year or so in both JDK and JRE .. What do you people think.. |

QUOTE(jedipi @ Jul 25 2005, 07:59 PM) CODE CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar Is it ok to set classpath like that? I've seen many people set it this way: CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib |

I just noticed this but, Jedipi, NEVER EVER RUN ROOT AS YOUR REGULAR DAY USER, IT MAY CAUSE YOUR MACHINE TO PRACTICALLY EXPLODE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY DELETE SOMETHING!
