Re: Furniture Library Editor 1.0 beta
Is your Ubuntu a 32 bit or 64 bit system?

I do have java 64 bit installed. It works fine but there are a few apps that need 32 bit java. The 32 bit apps won't work without that. For some reason, they can't use the default 64 bit java. So, I'd have to have BOTH the 32 bit and the 64 bit javas installed.

These are the java's I have installed (I was advised to use only Sun's version):
java-ca-certificates-1-9.1.noarch
java-1_6_0-sun-alsa-1.6.0.u26-0.2.1.x86_64
timezone-java-2011g-0.2.1.noarch
java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u26-0.2.1.x86_64
java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u26-0.2.1.x86_64

And these are the directories where java can be found on my system:
/usr/bin/java
/etc/java
/usr/lib64/java
/usr/bin/X11/java
/usr/share/java

The executable is in this one: /usr/bin/java

What I was wondering about is if the 32 bit java version would get installed to a different directory so that it wouldn't interfere with the default 64 bit version.

Can I install the 32 bit java into a directory of my choice (for instance by creating a java folder in /home)?
I'm hoping that I understood the directions from this page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml
"There are two types of installation packages. (Package 1) * Linux self extracting binary file This file can be used to install Java in a location chosen by the user and can be installed by anyone (not only root users). As long as you are not root user, it cannot displace the system version of the Java platform suppled by Linux."

Let me know if I got that wrong.
