...how do I install JDK 1.1.5? I unpack [the] archive, and I only
have directories and a readme that doesn't help me.
Raph,
We're working on improving the README file and also will be providing
a small amount of additional, external documentation sometime soon.
1. Move to an appropriate directory and for example, unpack the tar(1)
archive as follows:
___________________________________________________________________
$ cd /usr/local
$ tar xvf /tmp/jdk1.1.5.tar.gz
___________________________________________________________________
2. Make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set, put the
resulting directory into your execution path, and try something:
___________________________________________________________________
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.1.5/bin:$PATH
$ appletviewer
/usr/local/jdk1.1.5/demo/awt-1.1/lightweight/OpenlookButtons/example.html
___________________________________________________________________
Note that the above examples assumed you were using the Bash shell,
such as /bin/bash. Also note that if you already have a CLASSPATH set,
you'll probably want to append .:/usr/local/jdk1.1.5/lib/classes.zip
to that environment variable. This ensures that you have the current
working-directory in your class search path, and makes things much
easier for you as you test your code. Of course you may want to
add these environment commands to your shell startup script.
Some people may wish to set JAVA_HOME themselves. That way, you can
change all commands following setting that to use it instead, such as:
___________________________________________________________________
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.5
$ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
$ export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip
___________________________________________________________________
If these instructions don't work for you, could you let us know?
Good luck and thanks for your patience.
Steve
