Installing and Configuring JDK 1.6.0.5 on openSUSE 10.3
Hi, I have just installed openSUSE 10.3 which comes with a version of Java, but I want to install the one that SUN provides (as of today is 1.6 Update 5), however, I can't make it to work, the installer (.bin) runs, but all the environment variables (JAVA_HOME et al.) don't get set, and I still got version 1.5.X when I run java -version, how can I make this change, and tell SUSE to start using the recently installed Java.
Why am I doing this ? Because I will install NetBeans 6.0.1 after, and this software doesn't work with the java that came with openSUSE (apparently doesn't work) and I'd like to have a setup similar to my other computer running Windows, in order to test and program some project using NB6.
All ideas are welcome
