When you install Java on the server to run Kuali Rice 2.0.0-m9-SNAPSHOT, please make a note of the installation directory. You must have this information to configure the other Rice products.
Version 1.0.0 of Rice was compiled with Java 5 and maintained source code compatibility with Java 5 as well. Starting with the 1.0.1.1 release, Rice is now being compiled using Java 6, although the source code still remains compatible with Java 5. It is recommended that client applications begin using Java 6 for compiling and running Rice.
In a prior step, you should have uploaded the Java installation file, jdk-1_5_0_18-linux-i586-rpm.bin, to the directory, /opt/software/java. Change your current directory to that directory.
cd /opt/software/java
Change the file to have executable attributes.
chmod 777 *
Run the file with this command:
./jdk-1_5_0_18-linux-i586-rpm.bin
This puts your Java JDK software in /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16/.
This directory is used throughout the rest of the Quick Start Recommended Best Practices sections in this Installation Guide as the Java home directory
Using a default IBM JDK will result in the failure of Rice to startup do to incompatibilities between cryptography packages. In order to make the IBM JDK work with Rice, the bcprov-*.jar needs to be removed from the classpath.
