    JVM update on Suse

    Hi everyone,

    Last nite I downloaded eclipse SDK for C/C++ and after I've installed it on my Suse , it says " Version 1.4.2_11 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 1.5 or greater is required.". So, I started hitting on the net and downloaded it from sun java website. Here is complete link addresses . Download Java software for Linux from Sun Microsystems ( I download linux self-extracting file ) and Java SE Downloads ( I download get java JDK ). I've installed both and everything went smoothly without appearing any error messages. However, when i type java -version on my Suse, it's still my old version but not my latest one. Can someone point me out what I've missed ?? Thanks in advance.

    the java rpm package from sun works but it doesn't install java into the same place that Suse does. You get the incorrect java version because it's referring to the java that is installed in your system already which is in your PATH.
    Code:
    echo $PATH
    Find where the current java command is running from by typing
    Code:
    which java
    in a terminal window
    on my openSuse 10.3 system it's in /usr/bin/java
    this is actually a soft link (to another soft link) to the currently running version.
    If you can find where the sun rpm package installed it you can change the soft link in /usr/bin so that it refers to the correct java
    you may also need to change the soft link for JAVA_HOME
    Code:
    echo $JAVA_HOME
    it can be a long involved process to do this because there are many such links referring to java in my system at least.
    You might find it easier just to upgrade to openSuse 10.3 or 11 and install the latest Java SDK from repositories.
