Fellow Managers,
I will be installing the Java2 SDK (and possibly the FastVM and plugin)
from
http://www.digital.com/java/alpha/javakits.html on my
newly (re)minted XP1000 running Tru64 V5.0a. I actually had priorly
installed the JRE on a V4.0F system and that install, while successful
left me with one question: the installation (nicely setld'd by the way)
put everything in /usr/opt (as it should) but did *not* replace the
existing prog or libs with symlinks or such. So I'm wondering what
others have done in this area. Is there a reason why the existing
V1.1.blah stuff should not be replaced? Will I have to hardcode
paths etc into any software expecting to find Java2 stuff?
Lend me your thoughts on this topic.
Also, another matter of curiousity: why are all the Tru64 Java2 kits
stamped officially Java Compatible *except* for the JRE? That seems kinda
odd to me...
tia and rgds,
_kelley
