Gcc's gcj compiler is completely unrelated to Sun's JDK. The Java version is 1.3 because that's what gcj implements. And installing a new JDK affects that not at all. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: The Java version of the gcc package that I initially installed lacks the java.awt, javax.swing, etc. classes and components that I need for my Java programming. Also, the release included on the Red Hat CD is 1.3.1, which is not even close to the latest Java release from Sun. I consider this a bug because after I installed the Java SDK 1.4.2 rpm from Sun and queried the system (java -version) the java -version is still 1.3.1, and I have to invoke my Java compiler with a full path name to get 1.4.2 (/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java -version). I believe this is so because Sun's rpm put the new Java files in a different directory instead of updating the directory of Red Hat's original installation. So, now I have two Javas running, and I don't know how to get rid of the old one! By the way, I have set the path to include the path for version 1.4.2, but I think version 1.3.1 has precedence. In order to work in Java, I have created an alias that uses the full path name to version 1.4.2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): java 1.3.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.java -version 2. 3. Actual Results: java version "1.3.1" Expected Results: java version "1.4.2 beta" Additional info:
