    JVM on Debian

    Hi, I am trying to install JVM on debian. I first noticed that there are no stable packages for this. So after a bit of search on the net I realized that the package name is java-package and it is unstable. After a bit of work (ie. upgrade my 2.4 kernel to 2.6., i managed to install the package through apt-get.

    The problem that I am having is that, I have no idea where java is. for instance when type java, nothing comes up (as oppose to in Windows where the compiler actually starts.)

    Any ideas on what I need to do to get this work.
