Installing Java running jar files

jariep · 04-09-2004, 07:12 PM

I was able to install java plugin for mozilla and for running java jar files, previously, but i just re-installed redhat.

I can't remember how i installed java for running jar files.

I already installed the java plugin for mozilla successfully, though.

How do i install java so that i can run java jar files?

I am a newbie, so try to explain in as much detail as possible.

I am using RedHat 9.

Thank you, I really appreciate any help you might offer.

i installed j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.rpm downloaded from sun.com
and
i created a sym link for mozilla plugin:
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

by the way i have fedora. i think it is same for redhat 9.0
