Installing java for use by Rimage client apps -- 2006.03.09 

--------------------------------------------------------------------
For current information, SKIP THIS SECTION

Notes from 2006.02.06:
  SDK doc says must use JDK >= 1.4.2-b21
  On corevm3, installed:
  java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_03-2
  java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_03-2
  java-1_5_0-sun-demo-1.5.0_03-2
  jpackage-utils-1.6.3-6
Unfortunately, I can't find those packages.

Notes from 2006.03.07:
  On coot, installed:
    for runtime:
      /srv/local/backup/java/RPMS/suse-10.0-java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm
    to compile programs:
      /srv/local/backup/java/RPMS/jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm
      (I couldn't get the suse version java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm.
      The generic RPM seems to work, but left things in an unobvious location).

  java RPMs are in /srv/local/backup/java/RPMS/
  RPMS needed for runtime
    suse-10.0-java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm -- 
        needs 1.5.0_03-2 as prerequisite
    suse-10.1-java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm -- is self-contained
  jdk RPMS needed for development (compiling):
    java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm
      For development -- advertised for SuSe 10.1-Beta6
    jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm
      Generic linux development RPM -- 
        leaves javac and other stuff in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/javac

  Install on cormorant (SuSe 10.0, I think) and albatross:
    /root# rpm -i -v \
      /srv/local/backup/java/RPMS/suse-10.1-java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm
    Preparing packages for installation...
    java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5
    /root# rpm -i -v \
      /srv/local/backup/java/RPMS/java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm 
    Preparing packages for installation...
    java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-5

  Straighten out coot, which has:
      java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5
      java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.10-2.2
      java-1_4_2-sun-plugin-1.4.2.10-2.2
      jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
    coot:~ # rpm -e jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
    coot:~ # rpm -e java-1_4_2-sun-plugin-1.4.2.10-2.2
    coot:~ # rpm -e java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.10-2.2
    coot:~ # rpm -i -v \
           /srv/local/backup/java/RPMS/java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-5.i586.rpm 
    coot:~ # rpm -q -a | grep java
      java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_06-5
      java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_06-5
