as i like to use blackdown java, i give you this url: ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.3.1/i386/FCS/ here you can download j2re or j2sdk j2re is a runtime environment j2sdk includes development kit the way to install is really easy. after downloading the tar.bz2 file, as root, move it in /opt, then tar xvfj j2sdk_or_j2re.tar.bz2 a j2sdk or j2re directory is now created in /opt and that's all what you need to install. no ./configure, make, make install. now add the path to the java exec in PATH. it could be /opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin or /opt/j2re1.3.1/bin. several ways to do that. for exemple, for a single user, add theese lines in ~/.bashrc: PATH=$PATH:/opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin export PATH then verify if it's good: $ which java #answer to this command must be: /opt/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/bin/java now you can type java at command prompt and most apps using java can run with that. some needs to set a special ENV like JAVAHOME, but you can know which by reading the README or INSTALL files for thoose apps. bye jipe -- L'honneur d'une fille est � elle, elle y regarde � deux fois ; l'honneur d'une femme est � son mari, elle y regarde moins.
