Hi.. I have installed java in the following folder
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06 in linux, may i know
whether i should create JAVA_HOME variable like windows do ?? If I
want to add the following
entries
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06
where should I add ?? /etc/profile ? I added but it doesn't appear
in ENV after I relogin
I recommend using the jpackage nosrc.rpm to create Sun java rpms.

A detailed Fedora-specific HOWTO for this is available here:

As far as I know that doesn't set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Some java programs depend on that to find things like
$JAVA_HOME/lib/jre/ext
or security settings to install or run correctly.
Is it possible to somehow get JAVA_HOME set from Jpackage, so that it
reflects
the currently chosen java version?
That probably needs a scriptlet in /etc/profile.d that looks at the
current alternatives setting for java and sets JAVA_HOME appropriately.
Perhaps someone that uses a variety of JREs can suggest something?
Paul.
