    How to remove GNU Java?

    I installed Gutsy about three or four weeks ago. Knowing that I would need Sun Java for my work, I removed all of the default Java stuff - or, at least, I *think* I did. But now, I still have strange little issues that are Java related.

    So, I'm wondering if maybe I missed something. Does anyone know if there is a "right" way to remove the default Java components from a Gutsy system? I'm fearful that I left something behind that is giving me grief.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Not elegant, but you can open a console and type:
    Code:
    cd /
    sudo find -mount -name java
    This will find all java directories on your mounted filesystem. You can then review each to see if it should also be deleted.

    Code:
    cd /
    sudo find -mount -name java*
    This will find all files with java as the first part of the name.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
