[fedora-java] Replacing FC4 Free Java for SUN's Java

[Joe Desbonnet]

I've got the Sun JDK at /usr/local/jdk  in addition to all the default
RPMs from FC4.
I have found that setting the environment as follows:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk
export PATH=/usr/local/jdk/bin:$PATH

makes Eclipse and most other Java apps I use run ok.

Joe.
