Today after Installation of Ubuntu .Our Purchase In charge liked the interface . when we tried out Oracle Apps it did not work . It needed Java JRE 1.5_12 installed . After setting up JDK 1.5_12 , I did changes for the path parameters to make the java available.
This is what I did
1> Untar the JDK 1.5_12 to the /opt directory
2> created a executable file in /etc/profile.d/ with contents
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/opt/java/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
After restarting I was able to use Orace Apps on Linux
