  ##############
  Java 2 Runtime Environment:
  This software is available in IBM Runtime Environment for
  Linux, Java 2 Technology Edition, any version of 1.4.1.x.
  The JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables must
  be set so that they refer to the path where you have installed
  Java language support software. Use the export command.
  The following are examples of the values to set; use your path
  in place of the Java2-14/jre phrase in the JAVA_HOME example.
  export JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-14/jre export
  PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  ###############
  -
  Since the fully supported version of
  the jdk 1.4.1 for LB5.1 is not shipped with
  the product, the documentation should be updated
  to point customers to where the jdk required by
  LB5.1 can be found so customers can easily find
  out where to obtain this level to code.
