Is this > obsolete? It's part of the gcc-java package which is part of the GCC-3 version. gcc has been versioned to allow side-by-side installs of V3 and V4. Executables in each package have been appropriately renamed. 'alternatives' can be used to set up the desired default so that the typical names can be used transparently. See '/bin/set-gcc-default-3.sh' and '/etc/set-gcc-default-4.sh' for some insight on that front. Java, however, isn't currently packaged for GCC4 so these scripts don't alias any of its executables. So if you want 'jar' instead of just 'jar-3', you'll have to set this up through alternatives yourself for now at least. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
