here are packages for 1.4.2 java versions also. Keep in mind, you still have to get java from java.sun.com.
The instructions I have found say I need j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin
Yes. That's the package from sun that I mentioned earlier.
Jim, I have a 'problem' that I have too many tasks going at one time. I cannot complete any of them soon, and I have to keep all of them moving.
I have recently grabed FreeMind to start documenting all this. I am building up quite a bit of information in there already...
An earlier reply on this list said I would find what I needed at jpackage. The only think I see listed for 1.4.2 on jpackage is gcj-compat and Kaffe. Well at least they have 1.4.2 in their discriptions.
Quit looking at their '60 most recent packages' or only looking in their free section.
Just their free section, listed down the left.
Java is NOT free (as in speech) the way you're thinking it is. There's 1.4.2 stuff all over jpackage. Below I've listed samples.
So I guess I have to figure out getting the stuff from sun after all...
I'd swear we covered this already. Jave is not freely distributable.
I am sure you did, and I am going through my archived messages for whatever I can find to put together what I need to do.
You get java from java.sun.com (or from ibm or blackdown),
So I install the j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin from
https://jsecom16b.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=3221109388A8563C...
and then you use the jpackage rpms to help set up a functional java environment. Sun's packaging sucks in the worst possible way. Jpackage fixes that for you.
Then I add jpackage repro after the centos repro and do a yum update.
got it.
I hope so.
Did not get to it today. I will go for it tomorrow. Unless I get Webmin installed on that box, and I can do this all via webmin. I have installed webmin on my AsteriskAtHome.

Did you see my previous post to this thread?

That contains a pretty much step-by-step guide I wrote for some friends who are technically capable but not particularly experienced administrators. i.e. they could've installed all the Java bits they required from source but would never have maintainted it.
I ran through all the steps required to get the Java 1.4.2 SDK installed in a manageable, packaged format for them and that mail documents the process in a way that should be of help to you.
If you follow those steps, changing "yumserv1" to the fully qualified name of a Jpackage mirror for the baseurl sections, you should end up with a packaged RPM install.
Will.
