Since I believe the Sun Java installation docs suggest adding
"PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jdk1.x/bin" to /etc/profile, which will still
leave /usr/bin/java ahead of the JRE most people know about, it seems
like the Gnu package is potentially a landmine in other instances as
well. It seems like /usr/bin should be ahead of the Java
installation's executables path as a general rule.
Again, thanks very much for the help, Fernando.
