[Swift-user] Debugging Swift Coaster ServiceManager

[Michael Wilde]

TJ, its pretty easy to just install it yourself and add your local copy to your path via your shell startup files.

Grab the JDK SE release from here thats appropriate for biox3:

 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

probably this one:  jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz

Just untar it and run the installer.  Test it with bin/java -version.

Then add its bin/ dir to your PATH

Test whether swift/coasters will see the right version by doing: ssh biox3.stanford.edu "which java; java -version"

- Mike
