Java:Compile Errors

When I try to install a java program (JaxoDraw) by ant that draws Feynman diagram, I met some errors with my laptop settings. Here are 3 errors that printed on the screen:

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.2-1.5.0.0/lib/tools.jar

BUILD FAILED: /work/JaxoDraw-2.0-0/build.xml:xxx:
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

/work/JaxoDraw-2.0-0/build.xml:191: Error starting modern compiler


My solution and checking are:
1. I do not have jdk installed. So I installed it first.
2. Set JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/" (which is one java location)
3. compile by ant -lib /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/lib/tools.jar (maybe, -lib ... won't be needed any more, I don't know)

linux:shell: /bin/tar: Argument list too long

When you create a tar archive and have an error: /bin/tar: Argument list too long, then you could try an argument of tar:

-T or --files-from=F

(which allows you to get names to extract or create from file F).

Latex: change row color of table

An example here:

\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
(if you use pdflatex and/or beamer, perhaps you need to transit 'table' by
\documentclass[xcolor=table..]{beamer} or you will have an error like:
! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package xcolor.
)

\begin{table}
\centering
\rowcolors{2}{gray!10}{}\tiny
\begin{tabular}{c||cc|cc}\hline\hline
....
\end{tabular}
\caption{...}
\end{table}

ROOT: error: `Bool_t' does not name a type

In ROOT all 'new' types are defined in the file RType.h and if you wanna use those types in your cpp code you must include any head file based on TObject.h because each head file in ROOT includes RType.h or you just directly include it.
