Download and Install Sun Java SE Development Kit

Wiki MarkupAs an alternative of using Java package that is bundled with Mandriva 2007.0 Free Edition, you can download the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from \ [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp\]. As stated in the reference documentation, you do not need Java EE (Enterprise Edition). You do not need Java SE with NetBeans, either; just the minimal JDK.

rpm \-ql jdk-1.5.0_07-fcs  #depends on the JDK version; see the message after the command: rpm \-ivh ..

Wiki MarkupAt \ [http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=214559\], someone said that "it's worth installing Sun's J2EE enterprise java package when using tomcat.

However, if you find problems with Sun JDK above, try to install Java EE SDK instead. It can be downloaded from \ [http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp\], eg. java_ee_sdk-5-linux.bin.

To install Sun Java EE SDK, follow these steps:
