Re: How to install jdk 1.3
Lau, your emails would be easier to read if you wrapped at 72 characters
or so.

Well, I wanted to do development with jdk 1.3 -- so I downloaded Sun's
JDK 1.3, unpacked it to my home directory, and put symlinks to java,
javac, and appletviewer into my ~/bin/ directory -- which happens to be
in my path.
Everything I do works fine.
You might prefer installing it to /usr/local/j2sdk/jdk1.3 rather than
your home directory. I imagine gnujsp and tomcat have a config file that
tells them which java executable they want to run, and perhaps they need
a CLASSPATH environment variable set to include whatever class/jars they
supply.
