RedHat 4.2 will automatically install JDK1.02 and kaffee and some other java
stuff....If you try install the java-linux porting project's JDK1.1.1 or
(newest) 1.1.3, you will run into CLASSPATH problems due to collision with
the other java installations.

*Strong advice* for all users of RedHat4.2 who want to develop in Java:
take your pick of JDK's...but USE ONLY 1----UNINSTALL ALL THE OTHERS...or
*face the consequences* of multiple CLASSPATHS, PATHS, ETC!

My sugestion:   Use the java-linux porting project's jdk1.1.3
(Blackdown.org), *uninstall* all of the RedHat supplied java-stuff, and *do
not* set any CLASSPATH  * anywhere* ....let the JDK's java wrapper do the
CLASSPATH stuff.  If you need to add extra classpath paths, modify the java
wrapper.


Best Wishes.
