jdk 1.5 for i386 on RHEL5 ??
Hi all,
I need to install "Oracle SQL Developer" on my RHEL5 intel machine. I have downloaded it from here But as written here, "you have a JDK 1.5 installed". I just wanted to ask from where I can get jdk 1.5 for i386 on RHEL5 ?? It would be really helpful, if someone could provide me the link. I did some google work But mostly what I found was for other Linux flavors or i586. Also, I have already installed Oracle Database 11g on my machine. If I install Oracle SQL Developer now, will it affect the configuration files of Oracle Database 11g, because it is really a "hard work" to install it. If someone needs help installing Oracle Database 11g on RHEL5, I can surely help. :) One more small question, what is the difference between jre and jdk ?? Thanks in adv. VIKAS |
JRE is just the Java Runtime Environment, whereas the JDK is the Java Development Kit. The JDK is a little bulkier, but it also provides a JRE. That being said, you will only ever need a JRE OR a JDK. You can have one of each installed at the same time, but why waste the disk space?
Since you are using an application like Oracle, I am guessing that you may need to use the J2EE JDK (Java Enterprise Edition) due to some extra functionalities; just as a side note, 99% of the time you can get away with using J2SE (Standard Edition). Here's a download link to the J2EE JDK download. However, be warned that it is for Java 1.6 - not 1.5. If there are any issues, you can run the "java" command with 1.5 compatibility - for the proper syntax, just read the man page. |

Well, got the answer from somewhere else,
It does not mess up with Oracle 11g install, still will try it and confirm. |
Hi all,
I have found an easier way. I have connected Oracle SQL Developer on windows to MYSQL server. It works fine for the simple syntax statements, BUT given errors in little complex statement. Will find a way for that soon. Thanks & Regards, VIKAS |
Running SQL Developer under a JRE is not supported!
I too recently installed SQL Developer on a Linux Server, but in my case it was CentOS. The SQL Developer install script insisted that my installed version of Java was only a JRE and it wanted JDK! I'll leave the Java install descriptions for Java folks but just post here that the handiest piece of code for this is called alternatives (in /sbin) [root@bilbo ~]# alternatives --config java There are 3 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java 3 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: I knew the "jre-1.6.0-sun" install was of full blown JDK install. So I picked that! [root@bilbo ~]# java -version java version "1.6.0_11" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode) And SQLDevloper installed without a hitch after I added IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf SetSkipJ2SDKCheck true AddVMOption -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name="SQL_Developer" AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.growbox.intrudes=false AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.macos.smallTabs=true AddVMOption -Doracle.ide.util.AddinPolicyUtils.OVERRIDE_FLAG=true in /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf What an easy install ;-) |
