Then I would make sure that what I just installed was the default via<br>
the alternatives command ie;<br>
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java [path to java] [any<br>
digit]<br>
<br>
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws [path to javaws]<br>
[any digit]<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>I am really not proficient with 'alternatives' command, but I did try to configure Sun's JDK as the default. The difference is that I configured javaws as a "slave" to java config, like this:</div>

Then make sure that alternatives is set to use what you just installed;<br>
<br>
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java<br>
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config javaws</blockquote><div><br></div><div>It is, at least AFAICS:</div><div><br></div><div><div>~ alternatives --display java</div><div>java - status is auto.</div></div><div><div>/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java - priority 1500</div>
