Wink SuSe 7.2 installation of LimeWire 1.7

SuSE 7.2 comes with java 1.1.8. This version is obsolete, but it is the last JDK that can be redistributed by third parties.
You have two alternatives: install IBM's JDK 1.3.0 which is included in the SuSE distribution, or download Sun's JDK 1.3.1 or higher. I have installed 1.4.0beta2 and it works.
After installing a new JDK, become root and re-link '/usr/lib/java' to where your JDK has been installed.
Example:
mv /usr/lib/java /usr/lib/java1.1.8
ln -s /opt/j2sdk1.4.0 /usr/lib/java
Now you got rid of all 1.1.8 stuff. Also you could have removed the 1.1.8 with Yast2.
Then type 'java -version' and voila. Now you can download LimeWire, and install.

Cheers, Jörg
