I installed java sdk 1.5.0 on my fedora core 3 box. When I ran a sample program to make sure it installed correctly I got the following message:

libgcj-javac-placeholder.sh

This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/javac
master link required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's
rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.

This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.

this was after I included PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin in /etc/profile

Has anyone had this problem and if you did how did you fix it?

Hi.

Try doing PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin:$PATH instead of PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin, so that the Sun java bin directory comes before everything else.
