Re: issue starting nexus on linux

What kind of Linux distribution you have?

For example. on a Ubuntu linux the Sun's Java SDK is available at /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.16 or /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10 ... (it depends on the the version also).

Then set the $JAVA_HOME/bin to PATH and try to ask
java -version from the command line. There you can check the verion of Java you are using.

If does not work, then you have to deal with "alternatives".

JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_11"

You should try to use a sun jvm, instead of the default (gcj)
