Hi all
I have no idea how to install openjdk into Fedora 16.
In <Add Remove Software> I did a search for openjdk, got nothing,
searched icedtea and got - Java browser plugin and Web Start implementation
and
API documentation for IcedTea-Web
Neither of these work.
What or how does one install openjdk in Fedora 16 please?
Thanks
Roger
