The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

JRE and JDK on Mac OS X - Need overview and help installing additional software

Asked by sscotti in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), Java Programming Language

I am running OS X Leopard 10.5.4 on a pretty new iMac core duo Xtreme.  I was pretty sure that they came with JRE and JDK preinstalled, version 1.5.  Looking at my Library Folder I see that I have folders for 1.3.1,1.4.2,1.5.0,1.6.0 and symlink to these from a few other versions.  I also have A, Current and CurrentJDK.  I am a little confused as to which one is used by what applications.  There is a JavaPreferences app that is part of my OS that apparently allows you to choose which java version to use for java applets run from a browser.  If you type some from the command line that uses java I'm note sure which version it uses.  When I type java -version in the terminal window I get:

java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13-120)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_05-b13-52, mixed mode)


My issue is that I have a tomcat server running and I want to develop some web apps using the tomcat server.  The one I am interested in is at:

http://mircwiki.rsna.org/index.php?title=New_Installation_Instructions

There are some .jar files there and a image io library, jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin, that I need to install.  I've downloaded:

jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin

and tried to install and I get a message saying  my install directory is not a proper JDK directory.  So couple of questions:

1.  How do I even know that I have a JDK installed and where is it.  Seems that it would be "CurrentJDK"?  Do I install into that or into a subdirectory.

2.  For all of the other java file that I have, do I add them to my java installation files in the OS or can I keep them with the webapp within tomcat somehow.  I would rather not clutter up my system files.
