Trying Java
I am trying to learn Java and the linux system seemed a good environment.
So I got hold of a tutorial that showed how to test javac and java
programs. I installed, via apt, jdk1.1 and jdk1.1-dev.
Everytime I run javac I get no error messages and nothing works. I trioed
to see what javac was and was suprised to see a lot of "meaningless" links
/usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac
/etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/javac
/usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/javac -> .java_wrapper
Anyone with some better insight?
