Java Installation

[MidRange Support]

I need to instal Java SDK 1.4 on a HP box which has an earlier install of Java SDK 1.3 running.

Do I have swremove the old version before I install the current version??

Hello,

If this version is consistent with previous versions, then no. It should just create a /opt/java1.4 directory and install there. Your 1.3 will be intact for whatever. You can, if you want to or need the space, swremove it.

Hope this helps

Thanks Chris. That means if at all I need to swremove the old version, I need to backup all personal files in m/opt/java1.3 so that I can copy the same to the current opt/java1.4 directory

Yes,

You can keep the old java out there intil you don't need it, copy what you want to keep into the new version's directory and remove the old.

Good luck

Chris
