JAR
Hi,
I need to change a jar file for my firefox browser. I have tried for days now and I can't get a jar utility to work. I understand there is a jar-The Java Archive Tool but i cant install a single sdk or jdk on my mandriva 2006. This is due to the bin thing. I am shore it would work if it was plain rpm. So options is to install a new distro or find a utillity(small with source) or make a utility from jar-sources or rebuild firefox each time i need to test something(2 hours).
Any idees ?

did you read the installation instructions?
you can also install from jpackage.org if you prefer to have less hassle with getting things to work the way you want to, see this site for instructions:

note that even though it talks about fedora it applies to any linux system that uses rpms

What bin thing?
I'm running a copy of Debian on my machine and I installed the JRE without using the package management system (apt, in my case). The installer is admittedly quite ugly but it worked fine when executed from the console. I moved the JRE to /usr/local/jre_1.5.0_06 and created a symlink pointing to it at /usr/local/java. I then added /usr/local/java/bin to all those little nooks where my path is stored (/etc/profile and /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc). Works fine for me.
