I've recently installed the Java 1.5 packages for Debian. I'm trying

isn't a Debian package for this program, but I hope to create one if I
can get it runnging.) I'm
trying to launch the program, but I'm running into some trouble.
I think I've tracked my problem down to a compatability problem with
my installed JVM and the program I'd like to run. I read that you
should be albe to run Java programs compiled for Java 1.4 on a Java
1.5 JRE, but perhaps that doesn't work with Debian?
There may be another reason why my script isn't working. I have
attached the script and the error message it generates. If anyone is
familiar with this problem and can take a look at the script I'd
appreciate it. (The script is short.) :]
I can add a section to the Debian wiki explaining how to launch a Java
program on Debian if I can figure this out.

I couldn't tell you exactly why your script does not work. What I can
tell you is that as far as I know, compatibility is never supposed to
break from earlier versions of a JDK to a later one (all of the program
that I've ran or written that work in the earliest versions of the JDK
still work in most recent versions without fault). I don't think that
your problem has to do with JDK versions.
If you really want to make sure, you can get any version of the JDK at
http://java.sun.com/downloads/
(http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Debian_Java_JRE/JDK_installation tells you
how to "package" the JDK in a debian way). I would just download the
JDK (or JRE) in which the program is supposed to run and see if you
don't get the same error as before.
I wont guess as to your error, but I hope you are able to find a
solution. Good luck.
