problem with java in fedora 7
 

hi everyone

i have installed jdk 1.6 in fedora 7..
i am able to compile a program without any errors....but when i use the
command
java ClassName
i am getting the following error...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: JFrameProgram (unrecognized class file version)
at java.lang.VMClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.8rh)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.8rh)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.8rh)
at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh)


I have set the environmental variable JAVA_HOME /home/fedora/jdk1.6.0

is there any conflict between the jdk that i have installed and the default java that has come with fedora 7...
if so how to rectify this conflict....??

Please help me to compile programs in terminal in fedora 7

THANKS IN ADVANCE

If there is a problem between versions of java it will probably be because you are running the "wrong" java. Setting JAVA_HOME wont help inregards to which java binary is being executed.

try:

which java : will show which java is in your path first
java -version : will run the java in your path and show its version


if the wrong java is being run try running with the full path name:

/home/fedora/jdk1.6.0/bin/java javaprogram.jar


if that worked you might want to link your home java version to /usr/bin replacing the java that is there or change your $PATH variable to use your java first.
