Installing both of JDK 1.4.x and 1.5.x

[eblack]

Hi,

Our developers are doing the same thing. One developer on Fedora Core 3
had problems with this. After the 1.5 was installed, the 1.4 webstart
would just hang. I told him to uninstall 1.5, which he can't. I'll fix
it for him tomorrow and I'll install them side-by-side in a non-standard
location, like ~/java_tools, by downloading the tar files from Sun and
untarring them. I did that for myself and it works fine.
