Java J2re , why doesnt it make a directory?
 

i installed both j2re and j2sdk, and neither of them actually make /usr/java/ like it did when i did it before... i cant even find them anywhere. does anybody know what to do?

What about /usr/lib/java (or something similiar) ?

su to root and run the command updatedb, to make certain that the database of installed files is up to date. Then, either as root or user, run the command 'locate j2sdk '. It'll show you where the j2sdk is installed.
