Re: [PLUG] Java troubles

[Aaron Mulder <ammulder@alumni.princeton.edu>]

Generally your options are to remove G*J (which I've always found to
be pretty crappy, but I'm a Java developer not a free software fanatic
:) or to put your Java installation at the *beginning* of the path. 
For example in your .bash_profile:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

(Note that a number of Java-based programs have startup scripts that
attempt to use JAVA_HOME in preference to the path.)
