Hi Peter;

Sorry for the confusion, but yes you get the point. The NDT build process expects you to put the Java SDK bin directory in your path so the 'javac' compiler is found. One simple solution is to install the 1.4 SDK and put that location at the beginning of your path (export PATH=1.4/bin;$PATH) would do it.

You are assuming I know the difference :-) although I think you have
probably answered my question anyway. I expect that the upgrade to SUSE 10.1
has brought along the 1.5 Java SDK which we then used to build the server and
now we would have to get 1.5 on the clients. So if we move the server back (or
more correctly if we can move the server back :-)) to 1.4 the current web
clients should again work as they used to. These java folks don't seem to be
much on backwards compatability :-).
