...hi...

Ok, I've been at it all day, wasting my life, not getting results. Life (like this) stinks...
(it(s been a long day, please ignore my moaning - tnkans)

Ok, this is the situ, I've got F10 as a dev machine, it uses a JVM 6, I have a server (centos 5.2) that seems to use a 1.4 JVM) Ok, so I downloaded the 6 (from Sun) and installed it, the old one is not overwritten

I compiled a testlet in the 6, of course, the server's JVM cannot handle the class and say something like "unrecognised class file version", and that makes sense.

How do I use the newly installed JVM (the 6.0)?

Tnx

Thor
(eight hours and not getting anywhere, that's utter cruely)

Aah, but that will make it feel so much better when you finally get it solved and can stop!


Do you find the new version if yo]u search the filesystem?

It might also be worth checking what sort of file /usr/bin/java is. On my system, it is actually a symbolic link that points to the installed JVM executable (well, actually it points to another symlink, but then Ubuntu uses the Debian alternatives system).

If /usr/bin/java is a symlink, you could change it to point to the version you've just installed (assuming you find that). If, on the other hand, this is the 1.4.2 executable, you would either have to replace it with the new version or make sure that that is in a directory that appears earlier in $PATH than /usr/bin.

Hope this helps,
Rob.

Hi
(big sigh of relief)

Thanks, I needed this:

and the great tip.

I did a find:

Found the 1.6.0.13 (the JVM I just installed), made a symlink in the folder where it stood, moved the old symlink (pointing to the old JVM) and placed the new symlink in its place.

Ran the testclass and it worked.

Man, I needed this, and I owe you a latte :-)

Big tnx!

Thor

No problem. Actually, mine's an espresso

Eh, whatever you like, you've earned it...

Now, where was I...back 2 work...

Thx!
