    Install Java Package in Mandriva

In Mandriva 2007.0, you can try Java SE Development Kit from Sun Microsystems, or a 'relatively' compatible Java package in Mandriva 2007.0. Below, the step-by-step howto for both are described. If found problems with the first, just try the second.

...

Code Block
One of the following packages is needed:
 1- eclipse-ecj-3.2.0-12.3mdv2007.0.i586 : Eclipse Compiler for Java (to install)
 2- ecj-bootstrap-3.2.0-2mdv2007.0.i586 : Eclipse Compiler for Java (to install)
What is your choice? (1-2)

Press '1'.

As an alternative of using Java package that is bundled with Mandriva 2007.0 Free Edition, you can download the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jspImage Removed. As stated in the reference documentation, you do not need Java EE (Enterprise Edition). You do not need Java SE with NetBeans, either; just the minimal JDK. As of this writing, the current version is Java SE Development Kit 5.0 Update 9, but in this howto we use JDK 5.0 Update 7, the RPM version (jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin).

...

Code Block
rpm -ql jdk-1.5.0_07-fcs     #depends on the JDK version; see the message after the command: rpm -ivh ..

At http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=214559Image Removed, someone said that "it's worth installing Sun's J2EE enterprise java package when using tomcat. Just the normal java JRE will not work with Tomcat, because it uses J2EE libraries (jars)". He is right that 'normal java JRE will not work', but I think JDK is enough, so I decided to use Java package above (Java SE SDK). However, if you find problems with Sun JDK above, try to install Java EE SDK instead. It can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jspImage Removed, eg. java_ee_sdk-5-linux.bin.

...

Code Block
cd /usr/bin
mv jar /another/directory/ 
mv jarsigner /another/directory/
mv java /another/directory/
.. and so on.
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/jar 
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/jarsigner
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/java
.. and so on.

...

Code Block
urpmi postgresql
urpmi postgresql-server
urpmi ant
urpmi xml-commons-apis
urpmi tomcat5

After the last line (urpmi tomcat5), the console will show the following lines:

...

Code Block
[tomcat]  /usr/share/tomcat5
CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat5
CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat5
CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/temp
JAVA_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java
# or JAVA_HOME:  /usr/java/jdk

Install DSpace

I will write DSpace installation steps here. Visit this page later. However, DSpace installation described in the the reference documentation is clear enough (see the first line of this howto).
