If you install Sun's JDK1.3 for Linux, you can run the most recent release for Sun's Forte
Community Edition and develop for Java within a reasonably nice GUI. Here's how...
Edit the file $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/font.properties to comment out references to fonts
containing the strings "symbol" and "adobe-fontspecific" by adding a "#" at the beginning
of the line. Don't forget the lines containing "CharToByteSymbol" too.
If you have installed the OpenJIT just-in-time-compiler, you will need to disable it
temporarily, as it causes problems for the installer. Typing "unset JAVA_COMPILER"
should suffice. Once the package is installed, it runs normally with the jit enabled.
Go to Sun's www.javasoft.com web site and find Forte Community Edition. Download the
Solaris package. It is a little over 12 megs. Install it by typing "sh forte_ce_1_0_2.sh"
and follow the directions from there.
