Re: Oracle8i on Linux: java/lang/Thread

java/lang/Thread happens because the JDK is being used, instead of the JRE. The JDK stores the classes in classes.zip, while the JRE uses rt.jar. The 8i java OUI has rt.jar (therefore needing the JRE) in its classpath and not the classes.zip.

See my sig for more info.
