Installation
Instructions (top)
- To download the following required files, click on
the
"appropriate protocol" in the the download section below. This will take you to the "End User
License Agreement". If you agree to the license, you will be redirected to a
download link for the files. Save the appropriate files to a temporary
location on your hard drive (for example, in the /usr/tmp directory)
- You are transferring over 60.0MB
of data to your machine and it may take 5 minutes or more depending
on the speed of your network connection
- Note: You'll find the Java2™ Software Development Kit under the /usr/java directory.
The Java2™ Software Development Kit tools are in /usr/java/bin and consist of:
- javac The Java2™ Language Compiler
- java The Java2™ Language Runtime
- jdb The Java2™ Language Debugger
- javah Creates C header files and C stub files for a Java2™ class
- javap Disassembles compiled Java2™ files
- javadoc Generates API documentation in HTML
- appletviewer Allows you to run applets without a World-Wide Web browser
This Java2 SDK release includes support for translating Java2 TM bytecode to MIPS machine code and running it instead of the bytecode in order to improve Java2 TM runtime performance.
The -jit (Just In Time) option causes java™, the Java2™ interpreter, to do this translation on the code for each class when it is loaded, and then to subsequently use the MIPS code.
MIPS code execution is not available:
* on systems with R3000 and earlier processors
* on systems with R4000 processors, earlier than Rev. 3 revisions
* during debugging

followed all the steps, your installation is complete.
Troubleshooting (top)
"tar" or "check sum" error
If the you encounter a "tar" or "check sum" error, then the tar file probably didn't download properly. Occasionally, because of the size of the
tar file, demand on the server, congestion on the internet, and/or type of internet connection a user has, the whole
tar file doesn't make it all the way across to the users location. Try downloading the
tar file again at an off time, maybe early morning. If the error message you got was something different, it might help us to know what it was.
Not enough disk space to complete installation:
If you run out of disk space during the download you will need to make some room on your disk and begin the installation again.
Suggestions: Search for large files using Search Book or use Software Manager (in manage software mode) to remove software you don't use.
Not enough disk space for downloaded software to unpackage:
If this happens, save the downloaded distribution images, make some room on your disk, then drag the icon for the directory containing the distribution into the Available Software drop pocket in Software Manager or type the location of the distribution directory into the text field.
For more information, select Specifying the Location of Available Software from the Software Manager help menu.
Conflicts Resolution:
Choose Resolving Installation or Removal Conflicts from the help menu in Software Manager.
