Hi people!
I'm going to start doing lots of
Java on my Linux machine! I've downloaded the linux JDK, JRE and
J2EE, and installed them fine on my system, but there's still a couple of issues:
1) I can't execute the programs directly, ie. to run 'javac' i have to type './javac' instead of plain old 'javac'. Is there some way of rectifying this?
2) I don't know which system file to declare my java vars in (ie. JAVA_HOME etc..) (I'm on Redhat 7.1)
Maybe (1) will be sorted as soon as we rectify (2) - i just don't know...
One last thing, i installed all of the above packages as root, is this a good idea, or should i create a new user for all of the Java things to run under?
Thanks for your help
Robin
