You should always have your environment variable JAVA_HOME pointing to your Java
directory. You should also set your PATH to make sure the proper Java binaries
(the ones from the same kit) are found before any similar named commands.
Put the files in your shell rc file, .login or even install it system wide if
all are supposed to use Java.
Here are the commands for a bash shell:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.3.1_06
export PATH=/usr/java/jre1.3.1_06/bin:$PATH
After you do this, test with:
echo $JAVA_HOME
-> /usr/java/jre1.3.1_06
which java
-> /usr/java/jre1.3.1_06/bin/java
Thanks for your interest in trying Visual Explain.
