java versions. If you are using Sun MC 3.0, then you must install
a compatible version of java in either of the following locations:
a) As specified by the JAVA_HOME variable in the file
/var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/java.home.
b) In the directory /usr/j2se.
c) In the directory /usr/java.
Note: for Neuron agent, only locations b) and c) are applicable.
