Hey this is really helpful.I had an application which was developed by another person on Solaris.I had to make it run on Linux. I had nightmares making it run.Only to find this post from you which made me learn that not only do we need to change the env variables JAVA_HOME and PATH but also do this small exercise to change the version of java.
Thanks a lot.
