Upgrading to J2SE 1.5.0 JRE

[Matt.M]

Hi guys.

I'm on a fresh linux installation.  Currently, my java version is:

Code Select Expand

java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-20)

Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Thanks.

cd to the directory JavaOp2.jar is in, then type java -jar JavaOp2.jar

I've done that.  The problem with this is that it doesn't open the GUI, which is what I'd like so I can navigate several bots and configure them all with account names, servers, and cd-keys, etc.

First, you came to ask a question and used punctuation and capitalization. You're my hero.

Second, GNU Java (gij) doesn't work with JavaOp. I don't know about Debian, but Ubuntu (a derivative) provides sun-java in it's universe repositories for APT. Try asking on Debian's forums, or using a repository search feature, to see if you can find a compatible package.

Java is typically backwards compatible. For a class compiled against 1.4 but run on 1.5, the JRE will fall back and run it against 1.4's class files, causing it to perform exactly the same, ideally. Sometimes, I believe, it doesn't work out that way, but JavaOp should work right.

However, if you can replace GNU Java 1.4.2 with Sun Java 1.4.2, you should be good to go.

Follow these instructions to install the real sun java. After that, JavaOp should work fine.
