Java Electric installation issue

[Robert E Farrell]

I've just joined the bug list so this has probably been answered before,
but I don't know of an archive that could be searched or a more complete
FAQ to find an answer to my question.  (It probably isn't even a bug in the
program but a documentation issue.) This is the first time I've tried to
run a Java application so no telling what might not be setup properly.

Trying to get Electric version 8.01 running on Sun (Solaris). I run the
following command line with response: (I've put in the complete path to
java since the one found by my $path is much older.)

% /apps/java/j2re1_3_0_02/bin/java   -jar electric-8.01.jar.zip

Checking the Java version:

%  /apps/java/j2re1_3_0_02/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_02, mixed mode)

The bsh-2.0b4.jar seems to run okay by itself.


Any suggestions?

Thanks and regards,
