[Techtalk] Java J2sdk 1 3 1 upgrade from jdk 1 1 8

[Tricia Bowen]

I currently have multiple versions of the jdk because I haven't gotten
around to updating some old apps like DBVisualizer. Just create a symlink
to the jdk you would like to be the default one.

An ls -al would look like this:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Oct 23 10:48 jdk ->
jdk1.3.0_02/
drwxr-xr-x    9 root     root         4096 Feb  9  2001 jdk1.3.0_02/
drwxrwxr-x    9 root     root         4096 May  6  2001 jdk1.3.1/
drwxrwxr-x    9 root     root         4096 Aug  8  2001 jdk1.3.1_01/
drwxrwxr-x    9 root     root         4096 Jul  7  2000 jdk1.1.8/

If you don't have a .bashrc or .profile, you can just create one in your
home directory and set your CLASSPATH and PATH vars there.
