Dag has a jre in his repository that is quite nice and sets up the java environment for you. If his package will not work, I would recommend getting one of the jpackage nosrc java rpms and rebuilding it using the sources from sun/ibm/blackdown. It will make them MUCH nicer to deal with. -- Jim Perrin System Administrator - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
