[aklug] Re: Java Question - Jin

As I mentioned, there are myriad ways to get you up and
running, but my suggestion is that you think about some
more systemic solutions. You are invoking /usr/bin/java
because /usr/bin is in your PATH. YOur PATH may however
already contain another directory for java invocation,
though /usr/bin may precede it, so you may want to double
check your path to see if JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH and PATH
were set or altered during install of your java and then set
those as you need for typical java usage, perhaps creating
a small script to use to reset them for any alternative java
and then call the app as an argument to the script.....
