I've updated the Java Development Kit on Athena to 1.5.0_02 (along with
the add-ons we've been including). I don't intend to make this (or a newer
subsequent update) the default until Summer 2005. From my message to users:
The Java Development Kit release 1.5.0_02 has been installed for
Sun and Linux. The installation includes Java 3d 1.3.1 and the Java
Advanced Imaging API 1.1.2_01; the strong encryption modules from
jce_policy-1_5_0.zip have also been installed. The locker also
contains the Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O libraries, version
1.0_01 (these add-ons are the same versions as in the current
1.5.0_01 default release).
You need to type "add -f java" and use a "-ver" command line option in
order to bypass various other java binaries that will otherwise be found
instead of the ones in the java_v1.5.0_02 locker, i.e.
add -f java
javac -ver 1.5.0_02 myfile.java
(if you use any other command-line switches, they must follow the
"-ver" switch).
Alternatively, you can also use this version of the JDK as below,
without the "-ver" switch:
add -f java_v1.5.0_02
javac myfile.java
