I seem to have fixed my problem. I renamed /usr/bin/java to
"oldjava" so when I type "java" it executes Sun's jre, which I had
already set in my path. I am interested in
learning Java and trying out all the Sun software which is
now free. Thanks,
Michael

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.)
