it is finding java sooner in the path than your newly appended version in
$JAVA_HOME. So you can either remove the old version (or even just rename the binary
file or remove the execute bit) or else modify your path to place the new $JAVA_HOME
location before the other one (prepend to $PATH instead of append) or you could
even remove the directory of the old one from $PATH but this last one may have
other unintended consequences.</span></p>

to /etc/profile, and then "java -version" correctly displayed my
version, and the app that requires java 1.6 ran just fine.<br>
<br>
However I am unfamiliar with Red Hat enterprise. I repeated the same steps as I
did for CentOS (which had no java version installed anyways). Also, doing
"whereis java" shows /usr/share/java" as the path. This version
being 1.4.2 we are told is not compatible, so that is why I need to get 1.6
(Sun's version) installed. <br>
<br>
What exactly am I missing here? I always thought that if I put the path to
"/etc/profile" that this would be sufficient. Redhat does have a
config file in "/etc/java/java.conf" that I can edit, but do not know
if I should touch this or not. </span></p>
