Hey, you were right about the problem; the java that comes with fedora
core linux is not fully compatible with every java application. The
solution I found was to use JPackage to run 2 versions of java
simultaneously (2 'alternatives'). Thanks,
Jack

You don't have to remove the GNU Java, just install Sun Java somewhere
and make sure that all the executables from Sun JDK are in the path. I
usually do it with the "alternatives" command. E.g. (assuming Sun JDK is
installed under /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.5.0_10/):
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/java 1
alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/javac 1
alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/jar 1
alternatives --install /opt/java java-home /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.5.0_10 1
Haven't used Core 7 yet, but I assume the configuration steps above
should work as well.

Do you think I should remove the java package from the fedora software
manager, and manually install the JDK?
Thanks,

Hi Jack,
All this is *very* strange. Are you using JDK that comes with Fedora,
or did you install Sun JDK? To check do this:
$ java -version
I know in the past the open source Java port included with Fedora was
unusable (especially with the GUI apps), so Sun Linux JDK must be
installed.
