linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hello,everyone! :) I learned Java(SE,EE) few years ago and didn't use it because we are using PHP and ASP.NET at work.However, I would like to ask a question: Is Java (SE,EE) free for use for business purpose?I mean,if I start up a company and use tomcat with java, do I have to pay for the license to use Java? I don't know much about java license until I learned that ASF(Apache Software Foundation) quited from the Java Community recently.As a result,they recalled my attention regarding the legitimacy of using java in business purpose for free. Thanks for answering my dumb question! (HowTos)

Problem with java3d 30 weeks 6 days ago

I want to play this java simulation: http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=9640 in java 3d mode on a linux (ubuntu) system. But it doesn't work.

If I switch to java 3d-mode it complains that java 3d is not installed. sudo aptitude install libjava3d-java didn't help.

Then I did a right click in this java app and selected Diagnostics-> About Java 3D.

Java ? 13 weeks 1 day ago

I am not sure what forum to post this in, however since it is a question that relates to my N4 here it goes for now.

I want to buy an N7 or N10. I use a website for business published by the Dept. of Finance for the City of NY that uses Java to display documents. My N4 does not run Java and I am assuming but I am not certain that the N7 and N10 also do not.

Hello, the default java installation is openJDK.

Code: alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/java 20000 But the symbolic link does change at all. What might be wrong?
