Hi,
I want to run this Java ap. & I read:-
]Because Protg is written in Java, it will run on any platform that
]supports a version 1.4.2 compliant Java Virtual Machine (this includes
]Windows XP, Linux, and Macintosh machines).

The latest linux installation I've got is Mandrake9 , which has:
j2re-1.4.0._01

Which I installed, but it didn't have a man or any tutorial.

According to some old sun tutors and the actual kaffe 1.0.7,
'javac ID.java', complies ID.java to create byte-code file: ID.class .
And 'java ID' runs the byte-code.
I tested helloWorld after installing kaffe 1.0.7, my first java action !

Now when I want to 'extend' to the newly installed j2re-1.4.0._01,
I can't find any javac executable.
All executables are binary, except a script: ControlPanel, which
ends with:
<SomeDir>/bin/java -D<long string of args>

When I run this script, I see error messages.

Q- how do I activate the compiler ?

Q - what are the essential env-vars for j2re & how are they set.

Thanks for any info.
