I lost my harddrive, and have had to reinstall. This time, I am being a
bit smarter on imaging, but still got to get things installed...
Installing Freemind. It needs Java JRE.
So after lots of pain, and reading past messages, I got
jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.rpm from sun and installed it.
Then I tried to follow Jim Perrin's recommendation to install from
jpackage.org the java-1.5.0-sum-compat.rpm. Thing is it is complaining
about no JDK (not JRE!)
yum install java-1.5.0-sun-compat (have jpackage.org repo in yum.repo.d)

Huh?
so i just try Alfred von Campe's Alternatitive commands:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_09/bin/java 10 \
--slave /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_09/bin/rmiregistry \
--slave /usr/lib/jvm/jre jre /usr/java/jre1.5.0_09
/usr/sbin/alternatives --set java /usr/java/jre1.5.0_09/bin/java
These seem to work but:
rpm -ivh jgoodies-forms-1.0.5-2jpp.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
java >= 0:1.4 is needed by jgoodies-forms-1.0.5-2jpp.noarch
and java -version yields:
java version "1.5.0_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_09-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
OK. What is broken here?
