How to use Jdk 1.5.0_06 in SuSE Linux 10
Hi,
I'm new to Linux. Yesterday I've downloaded jdk1.5.0_06 and installed that in my home folder. The exact path of the bin directory is /home/callsamik/java/jdk/jdk1.5.0_06/bin.
Now whenever I'm typing javac or java (using the proper path also)- it is showing as a bad command. Now I'd like to know how to use jdk in SuSE linux.
If i wish to uninstall it, then what is the procedure of doing that?
Please help me.

Hi!
Installing programs at your home directory is a bad idea. Indeed, you are free to do so but... doing that, only your user (in this case, callsamik) will have access to Java. A good, better place should be /usr/local or /opt.
Take a look into this post:

post number 5 is the one that should help you out. This thread was supposed to help a friend to get Eclipse running, but the same should work for you.
Regards!

How to set path for javac?
Hi,
I've installed jdk1.5.0_6. The path to the bin directory of java is /opt/jdk1.5.0_06/bin. Now I'd like to know that how can I set the path that I can use javac from anywhere using command prompt?
Regards,
Samik

Test it with this command:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.5.0_06/bin
$ javac -version
(You should see the java version info)
If that works, update your .bash_profile or .profile or .login file with the above path modification. Use ls -la | more to find which of those three files you have in your home directory.
Peace...
