My system is 5.6, with upgrades. I installed Java 6 from the Centos repository. It doesn't seem to have Java 7. I need the development package. How can I install Java 7 development safely? I imagine I will first have to uninstall Java 6. Thanks, John -- John J. Boyer; President, Chief Software Developer Abilitiessoft, Inc. http://www.abilitiessoft.com Madison, Wisconsin USA Developing

I am working on installing Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) on my new notebook. And it is not working... I downloaded all the rpms and put them into my local repo, enabled the jpackages repos then, well here is what is happening: yum install freemind* jcalendar* jgoodies-forms* Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin

strugging with things here... tried tracking the info on the Wiki (which apparently is now in need of a maintainer)... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS My primary interest is using Xalan/Saxon/xslt/xsl-fo docbook generation. I was thinking that all I really need is jre but downloaded both jre and jdk just in case. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (after removing both jdk

I've read website http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS. I am a total newbie with CentOS, but currently, with update 21 of the Java 6 JDK and CentOS 5.5, the installing the JDK appears to be simpler: 1. Download the latest *rpm.bin jdk (as of today,jdk-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin) fromhttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp 2. chmod +x the downloaded file. 3. su 4. Execute

We just upgraded Cent from 5.3 to 5.5 on a bunch of servers with little to no issues (kudos to you guys) except on a few servers where it appears we are having a problem w/ the Tomcat upgrade. Previously our application server was working fine under 5.3 with Tomcat/Java installed as such: java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.30.b09.el5

Hello everyone! In a CentOS forum thread[1], I was asked by forum member "AlanJBartlett" if I would like to take on the care and feeding of the latter (section 3?) part of the "JavaOnCentOS" article. Initially, I would like to correct the Sun JDK 1.6 part, which instructs readers to download the wrong Sun JDK file (there are two, one .bin and one rpm.bin) for the actual

From a different list: "JRE from SUN is getting depracated: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html" Centos comes with the 1.4.2-gcj-compat rpm. What impact does this all have? I do have JRE 1.6.0_05 installed on most of my systems (I see that update 10 is the now current version).

Hi all, I think that every wiki page should have a name(s) of the author/maintainer of that page like in: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS The name that appears at the bottom is not adequate because it could be someone who has just corrected a typo. In fact, that entry can be eliminated once the contact info has been given on the page. The whole purpose of this is of course to make

Hmmm, I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response, abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is related. I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It was from the official

Hi all, in respect of the "recent" CentOS forum thread, (found here https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=28126&forum=38) I wrote a "Sun/Oracle Java Installation Manual for CentOS 5" - posted on my Wiki Profile page, http://wiki.centos.org/MilosBlazevic?action=show and would like update the Java Wiki page with this content. Of

Somewhere during the course of recent updates I've lost the Java plugin for Firefox. Not sure when it happened, but I know Java was working in Firefox earlier this year. Firefox comes up empty when searching for a suitable plugin. I'm running a fully updated CentOS 5.3 with the following packages installed: firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm

i chose to install tomcat during the OS install as well as java....however, since I needed to use a different jvm, i used the method described in http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS for Sun jdk 1.5.0_13 and it worked fine as I can tell, as using the alternatives --config java command, i see both 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 versions and choosing the 1.5.0 version yields the right version when doing a

Hi, since I, just hours ago, followed http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS (Sun's JDK) I thought I'd confirm and update the "A less simple approach" with information that's a bit newer than jdk 1.4. Registered WIKI account: MikaelFridh Furthermore, I'd like to ask you if anyone know what was meant by the comment on the wiki: > *This HowTo is not complete

OK. I just upgraded a test system from 5.1 to 5.2 and there went all of my efforts to get Java working. All those alternative commands that I lost track of what really worked.... So I need the JDK. I have that installed on my main system with some alternatives commands that I do not remember. I do remember (and can find) a thread here to help me on it, and I tried a number of different

Hi, I just installed CentOS 5 on a few machines, to experiment with it. I have some trouble installing a Java plugin for Firefox. I've searched through the forum and read the various info at jpackage.org, and I'm a bit confused. 1) Can you point me to some reliable bit of information, even if it's laconic? 2) If I understand the info on http://jpackage.org/yum.php correctly,

Hey, y'all. I don't know how many folks here are familiar with a blogging program called 'pebble' http://pebble.sourceforge.net, but it's *supposed* to be an easy drop-in to a tomcat5 container. I suppose that it is, once I figured out how to get tomcat 5 working in CentOS 5, but I'm still having problems with the java. CentOS comes with Java 1.4.2, but I need Java

Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working." Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime

Hi All, I am currently using R version 2.8.1 on linux cent os 4.4 (i386) and want to upgrade to version 2.9.1. It seems to me that version-2.9.1 is it not for my OS. Am I right? Regards Utkarsh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

For scalix on Centos the Scalix forum provides instructions for convincing Scalix that Centos is Redhat: http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=516&highlight=centos I am up to the point of getting Java JDK1.4.2 installed. I did a: yum list|grep "java" and got: gcc-java.i386 3.4.4-2 installed java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.noarch

Hi, I am a R user, with some experience in MacOS, Linux, etc, but I am having a problem that I cannot solve: I have a linux server (CentOS 5) and I installed sun jdk1.6. For instance: $ java -version Java version "1.6.0_10-rc2" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-rc2-b32) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode) I also installed the latest version of R:
