[vox-tech] Installing Java

Hi,

Simple question(s).  When you install both the java jdk & jre on the 
same machine, what do you name the links to the distribution?

that is, I did it like:

I installed:

/usr/local/jdk1.5.0
/usr/local/jre1.5.0

then did links:

ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0 /usr/local/java_jdk
ln -s /usr/local/jre1.5.0 /usr/local/java_jre

maybe I should get rid of the "java_", like:
/usr/local/jre
/usr/local/jdk


Question 2: can I install the jre and jdk into the same area instead of 
putting them in different directories?

Thanks
Jay
