fedora java compile

Try out these Guides:

My Guides - http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/91/26/

Unofficial Guide to Fedora - http://www.fedoraguide.info/index.php/Main_Page

I would also suggest using the Livna Repository to get your packages and yumex to manage them
you can get this by typing the following code into terminal as root

su -

rpm -hiv [I]**broken link removed**[/I]
rpm --import [I]**broken link removed**[/I]

yum install yumex

Hope these guides help you out..

how to run java in fedora

There is no real java in Fedora, Only gcj compatible compiler (The Fedora devs. even rebuild eclipse with gcj so it's a native and not a portable app). Go to sun.com and download the java runtime and java development packages, if U use eclipse get it from the eclipse home page.
If U want to build fedora apps with the java language use gcj (GNU Compiler Java)
