Anyone here programming Java in Xandros? Can you teach me how to install the SDK? Thank you.

Go to Sun's site and install the Linux version of the JDK exactly as the instructions tell you to.

I chose to install it in /opt/j2sdk...

Afterwards, I added setting the JAVA_HOME variable to my .bash_profile and adding the $JAVA_HOME/bin directory to my $PATH variable as well.

There is plenty of guidance on the Sun site about how to use Java on Linux. Xandros is not anything special with regards to being just another Java platform.

In Debian there is also an alternative package called free-java-sdk. Have never used it myself.

Hello,

Can you explain how to add the path and java_home?
I'm new to linux.

I installed the j2sdk under the opt directory.

Thanks
Frank

There are two main ways to add JAVA_HOME to your environment and path.

One is to do it for you, as part of your personal account on the machine. This is an "every person for themselves strategy". The place to add your path would be to add the following to the "hidden" file in your home directory, ".bash_profile". You can use kate or kwrite or kvim or even XFM (which is really using kwrite) to edit it.

At the end, you'll want to append something like (using your location for Java):

Thanks Mike,
I'm still trying to settle on a distro, so far this one looks good.

Best Regards,

Java works great from Windows to Xandros.

Make sure, in Java, you set the directory path from
Java, and not hard code the / or \.

Eclipse can be downloaded free from Xandros Networks.
You can add a GUI designer from the www.eclipse.org site,
if you need it.

Or, you can get www.netbeans.org, which works great.

I use both, depending on my mood.

Linking to a database or even loading a local html document
in the defeault browser has been frustrating, as there are
no docs I can find or many others doing this.

I am now testing a compiler "Jet" for Java on Linux. I am hoping
it will install and make a .Jar file that is executable for me.

If you want a compiled stand alone app that does not need
Java installed, you can't use the SWING classes, and have to
use IBM's SWT classes. --- See Eclipse Web Site.

ALL IN ALL, THIS LINUX DISTRO ROCKS.
I have Fedora Core 3, Linspire 4.5, Mandrake 10, and SuSE 9.2

For business, this distro seems the easiest to run and more things
work without TWEAKING.

Search Google to get the DVD player working,
for there are some legal reasons it seems it was disabled, but not removed, as all the packages are still there.

I'm sorry, but though this may be stupid, I am used to using a different version of the console, I just switched to xandros. I'm trying to install jdk, but apparently the command to run silently isnt the same, could someone tell me it?

Also, sorry to double post, but I felt it neccessary to add that Eclipse makes it more difficult to do simple things...for example just creating a class is like a 5-6 click endeavor when you can just automatically do it in console by typing one simple command to compile and it automatically creates the class. Just another reason why I still can't stand fancy compilers. If you prefer simple input - output coding this really is the way to go.

If you're trying to do simple things, then using Java is really just the start of your problems.

You should be using Perl instead, if they're truly that lightweight of a task.

okay i am trying to get Java Runtime to run but just can't get it happening, am unable to view java applets and such, i installed it using their installer .bin and it is in /home/base/jdk1.5.0_06
so is this correct to add to the .bash_profile mentioned earlier

export JAVA_HOME=/home/base/jdk1.5.0_06
PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/home/base/jdk1.5.0_06/bin:$PATH

i have also tried ln -s so many times ...
hope someone can help me with this

thanks
