java: command not found
 

I have installed java via all their different versions and I am still not getting this required command. When I type java, just get, java: command not found. Any idea on how to fix this? Java installed it self into /usr/java/... but no command :(

You have to add the java bin directory to your path. Search these forums - the question seems to pop up once a day. :)

hw

mine does the same when I type in java.
so that is not a problem - mine works fine.

Did the installation go without any problems?

ALSO does Java show in your browser extensions ?

NB you may find the answer in one of the many Java related threads already in the forum - run a search - particularly something like -
link java
if you did not link the files yet.

here is a simple way to fix ur java problem.

use any text editor and go to your home folder, e.g, /home/*blake*
and open a file by the name .bash_profile

add :/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/bin at the end of ur $PATH variable (make sure to change the path i used to fit the location of your java bin directory).
