Hi Sampath220!

How did you try to install jdk1.3.1_09? In my experience, it can be a bit annoying installing JREs and JDKs under linux in some cases.

That version (although outdated) should be compatible with fedora.

Is there any reason, you want an old version? You can choose to compile with a certain "compiler compliance level" (I think the command is javac -target 1.3 MyClass.java) if you want it to run with old JREs.

What happened when you tried to install it? Did you get an error message?
P.S You really should consider installing version 6 instead.

I wonder why one would want to install jdk 1.3; it finished its EOL (End Of Life)
cycle quite some time ago.

Believe it or not, some people (and companies) still use JRE 1.3 - and if you're developing software, that should be run by people, who might be using that old thing, you have to make sure, it will work with that version. However, as I said, (and I guess you will know) you can set the target-parameter.
