What is he upto now?

Installing MS Virtual PC. All for Java

I’m installing Ubuntu on MS Virtual PC as I write this. Why am I doing it? Because the application I work on at work runs off Java 1.4 (as does our weblogic version). Whereas, all the new libraries, IDEs and stuff run off Java 1.6 (or 1.5 at least). I tried a couple of things, but to no avail. So, I finally decided to install Ubuntu.

What will I do with the new Java version? Pay with JSF 1.2, and 2 for starters. Get a copy of Tomcat which is not about half a century old, and run the latest and greatest eclipse. Doing all this on a 2GB Latitude D610? Now that is folly.

Does anyone else have an idea, about having mutiple Java versions on the same machine? Let me know.
