Hi again,
I've checked this out directly on Sun's Java site and the "regular
1.2" there is still a beta. It's not our policy to install beta
software in regular Athena production lockers; however to help you out
I've put it in a temporary locker from which you can use it. I'll
leave it there until I install a finished, non-beta version in a
"regular", version-specific Java locker (it will probably be called
java_v1.2.0, unless Sun is officially calling it 2.0 by then, in which
case java_v2.0.0 is more likely).
To use it now do: "add -f evaluate", followed by the usual java command:
"javac foo.java" etc. (The "-f" is important because otherwise another
Java version will be used which is probably not what you want).
I hope this will do.
Alex
