I cannot load bluej now and I have tried everything from absolute path to placing bluej.jar in the directory were java is. Any help would be appreciated. java -jar bluej-116.jar reports: jave:cammand not found Dennis

You need to set the PATH variable. Run the command: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/bin (Or whatever the path to Java is.) This will not stay set if you logout. To keep it set, you will need to add the same line to your .bashrc file in your home directory.

Hi: OK I loaded bluej in RH 7.2 and it is link to the PATH where jre is. It starts ok and when I do a compile with a class it complies fine. But when I run the class .java it show the window but it is greyed out. This is wierd. I am making a transition from Windows to Linux. In school and all. I am a java programmer (beginner). bluej works greatin windows. When I installed bluej I did get this message: Font specified in font.properties not found[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] This repeats 20 times and then bluej installs just like normal fine. Any help would be appreciated. Dennis

Ah, I think that might be something to do with Windows fonts and Linux fonts not being the same. Says there that there's a font.properties file, try editing that, and set the font to one that you have.

Hello: I fixed it. I installed newer version of bluej. bluej-120rc1.jar and java sdk 1.4. All is well. Thanks for the input. By the way there is a bug with java and its font.properties. But I fixed that also. Dennis
