Yep I can rename it.

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root staff  64492 2005-08-26 12:21 javarenamed

# ./javarenamed
-su: ./javarenamed: No such file or directory

I've never switched shell before so here's my best guess at how to do it (I 
feel like a complete noob now :o))

foo@bar:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin$ tcsh
foo:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin> ./java
./java: Command not found.
foo:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin> ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root staff  64492 2005-08-26 12:21 java
foo:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin> exit
exit
foo@bar:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin$ sh
sh-3.00$ ./java
sh: ./java: No such file or directory
sh-3.00$ exit
exit
foo@bar:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin$ csh
foo:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin> ./java
./java: Command not found.

Looks like it doesn't work in any shell.

I have tried moving the JDK install to another location on the disk as well 
(to under /var/local) and no joy their either.
