Adding Java to PATH and installing
 

How do you finish up installing java for use by the system not neccessarily the browser java's site says I will see the text done...Well I haven't and it's done extracting and thats all it's told me to do never told me if I need to run anything else but told me I will see done when it's done...So where is it? Also I need to add java to my path for use for my user? currently where he java jre1.7.0_09 is in /home/shawn/programs/java/ inside that directory is jre1.7.0_09 so what do I need to install and what would my path be (assuming I need to set my path to an executeable file that is) thanks!

I assume your using 14? If so the proper way to install java is to use the slackbuild in /extra. Read the README first!!!!!!!!!

Never thought to look on slackbuilds for jdk i always typed in java and don't beleive i ever saw that or i really over looked it but thank you!!! So much appreciated you don't even know what kinda trouble you just saved me and how much time you saved it. Not to mention the headaches
