Installing Java on Openserver 6

Forgive the sheer volume of verbiage:

Sco Openserver 6 - how to install Java 1.42_14b:
The documentation says:
"Make a subdirectory and unwind the tar file into that subdirectory.
mkdir JAVA142
cd JAVA142; tar -xf ../OSR6_Java2_142.VOLS.tar
Run the Software Manager with the command:
scoadmin software
or
custom
or double-click on the Software Manager icon in the desktop.
Pull down the "Software" menu and select "Install New".
When prompted for the host from which to install, choose the local machine and then "Continue".
In the "Select Media" menu, pull down the "Media Device" menu. Select "Media Images", then choose "Continue".
When prompted for the "Image Directory", enter the directory where you unwound the tar file of the package to be installed and choose "OK".
When prompted to select the software to install, the single software package in the directory will by highlighted. You can deselect any of the optional packages that you do not wish to install at this time. Click on "Install".

I don't think Java is already installed. When I type in "java -version", it can't find anything. I did a find . -name java* and found a few files with "java" in them, but nothing suggesting a JRE.

When I run "scoadmin software", the selection process makes no sense. It shows "Java 2 Standard Edition" with an asterist to the left. If I hit enter, indented lines appear below that. It says, "Total 6, selected 1", or "Total 3, Selected 1". If you hit enter at the line, it either expands more lines or contracts to one lines. It makes no sense as to what is "selected", or even how to select it. I know I have to have a "URW" urwfonts installed along with this, but it isn't at all clear how to do that with this senseless installation selection process.

Finally, I just hit "continue" at the first single line that appears, and it then gives a screen that says, "Upgrading components warning - these components selected for installation will be upgraded". And it shows "Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE). 1.4.2_08 (ver1.4.2 Hb) and also "URW ++ free X11fonts(version 2.0Ba)
Upgrading the above components will cause them to be removed and replaced with upgraded components. There is an option to " Leave replaced components on hard disk (loaded only)", but it is not clear how to check it. When I finally hit "CTRL Continue" and continue, it says "Error details - Assertion failed: path ! = NULL, file "dbaseStanza."

What is going on? This makes no sense. How can I find out if java is installed on this Unix Openserver 6 system? Why does it think it is, even though I can't do "java -version"?

I should note again I am logged in as root and that I'm trying to install 1.4.1.14b and urwfonts 2.0

jstack

jstack(1)						      General Commands Manual							 jstack(1)

NAME

       jstack - stack trace

SYNOPSIS

       jstack [ option ] pid
       jstack [ option ] executable core
       jstack [ option ] [server-id@]remote-hostname-or-IP

DESCRIPTION

       jstack  prints  Java  stack traces of Java threads for a given Java process or core file or a remote debug server. For each Java frame, the
       full class name, method name, 'bci' (byte code index) and line number, if available, are printed. With the -m option,  jstack  prints  both
       Java  and  native frames of all threads along with the 'pc' (program counter). For each native frame, the closest native symbol to 'pc', if
       available, is printed. C++ mangled names are not demangled. To demangle C++ names, the output of this command may be piped to c++filt.

       NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK.  jstack is not  currently  available
       on Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform.

PARAMETERS

       Options are mutually exclusive. Option, if used, should follow immediately after the command name.

       pid	      process  id  for which the stacktrace is to be printed.  The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes
		      running on a machine, jps may be used.

       executable     Java executable from which the core dump was produced.

       core	      core file for which the stack trace is to be printed.

       remote-hostname-or-IP
		      remote debug server's (see jsadebugd) hostname or IP address.

       server-id      optional unique id, if multiple debug servers are running on the same remote host.

OPTIONS

       -m	      prints mixed mode (both Java and native C/C++ frames) stack trace.

       -h	      Prints a help message.

       -help	      Prints a help message.

SEE ALSO

       pstack(1) c++filt(1) jps(1) jsadebugd(1)

KNOWN BUGS

       Mixed mode stack trace, the -m option, does not work with the remote debug server.
