I have had the same problems. Rather than upgrading to Solaris
2.5 I have modified the javac wrapper(i.e. hardcoded it to
recognize javac) as shown below:
< PRG=`whence $0` >/dev/null 2>&1
changed to
> PRG=`whence javac` >/dev/null 2>&1
< progname=`basename $0`
changed to
> progname=`basename javac`
This works for me.
