        Java not present on PATH (or wrong version).

        Please install latest 32bit Java release for your platform

        or set JAVA_HOME and add $JAVA_HOME/bin to your PATH.

Solution

For 64bit-only machines, ignore the message to install the 32bit Java Release. Install the latest 64bit Java. The cesadmintool script requires Java 1.5 or above to be installed, there is no requirement for bitism.

In the case of wrong version of Java, check that you have the Oracle release of Java, not the OpenJDK release.  To verify your version of Java, run the command:      java -version

Fix

The next version of cesadmintool will give improved messaging regarding the version of Java detected.
