I guess it's the lack of creativity in the daily chores of programming.Jaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432792233235750452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666170339866438578.post-5540370309607498312010-04-20T20:54:50.209+12:002010-04-20T20:54:50.209+12:00Hi Avi,
Thanks for the feedback. I am glad I cou...Hi Avi,<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback. I am glad I could help. To be honest I don't really write code in Java. I need it to be installed so I can run the tools I need. Maybe I am just old skool, but I really like to be able to execute my java apps directly. With the JDK installed, I am able to run Netbeans which I use for php - symfony development and a neat little mind mapping tool called Freemind which I have covered before on this blog.<br /><br />Try these links for more info:<br /><br />* http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-install-configure-jdk-jre/<br /><br />Otherwise it might just work if you exported the JAVA_HOME environment variable and added the path to $HOME/SDK/jdk/bin to your PATH environment variable.<br /><br />There is a bunch of stuff out there on installing the sun java platform direct via apt-get. If you did it this way you would just be able to use the update-java-alternatives command.<br /><br />Sorry I can be of more help. I am one of those silly people who like to run their java apps off stand alone instances of java and from inside the home directory.David Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594846478482645782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666170339866438578.post-19994118621811894242010-04-14T12:15:04.005+12:002010-04-14T12:15:04.005+12:00hi david.
