<div>Hey mates,<br><br>I need to inquire about two issues in particular regarding JDK... Firstly, so that you can understand my background:<br><br>- I'm running FedoraCore 5<br>- In the FC installation, I installed the regular Java Development libs & tools (such as eclipse, gcj, ...etc)
<br>- I downloaded and installed the JDK1.5 and the JVM from Sun Microsystems, Inc.<br>- I removed all the java related bins in the /usr/bin folder, then recreated the links to the new bins in the /usr/java/jdk1.4.0/bin library to make the javac, java, jar, javah... etc commands use the new JDK

Anyfile.jar Anyclass.class), the manifest file created with it (META-INF/MANIFEST) lists:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Manifest-Version: 1.0</span><br style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: courier new,monospace;">Created-By: <span style="font-weight: bold;">0.92-gcc</span>
</span><br></div>where you see, that my problem is that the manifest file was created by "gcc" apparently, and not <font size="4"><font style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" size="2">1.5.0_01 (Sun Microsystems
</font><font size="2"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Inc.)</span></font></font><font size="4"><font size="2"> which should have been the case... so, how can i change the manifest file maker?</font></font>
</div></blockquote><div><br>Possibly there's still some gcj toolset stuff left. If you want to solve this clean, check out the <a href="http://jpackage.org">jpackage.org</a> site and download the rpm building package. It allows you to create an rpm file for the jdk which is compatible with "alternatives". This way, you can switch the system JRE between gcj and the Sun JDK (and others).

<br>It's in the API documentation:<br><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/DataInputStream.html#readLine()">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/DataInputStream.html#readLine()</a><br><br>Wrap the InputStream in a BufferedReader and you'll get rid of the deprecation (and gain compatibility with different character sets).
