Hi there -
I'm an experienced linux user but brand new to java. I've followed the
directions in the linux java faq
(http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/docs/faq/FAQ-java-linux-3.html#ss3.2)
for installation on (a rigorously patched) i386 RH 5.1:
------(snip)------
$ tar zxvf /tmp/jdk1.1.6.tar.gz
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.1.6/bin:$PATH
$ appletviewer \
/usr/local/jdk1.1.6/demo/awt-1.1/lightweight/OpenlookButtons/example.html
------(snip)------
All easy enough, except that the jdk_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz file
doesn't seem to contain a "demo" subdirectory or anything called "awt".
Just "lib", "bin", and "include". Are there other files I need to get
and install for a complete installation?
Additionally, there is a "biss-awt" subdir on the ftp site with multiple
versions and I'm confused about which (if any) that I need and where (if
anywhere) I would put them under the "jdk116_v5" subdir. They also
contain no "demo" subdir.
One more thing, what are all the other files in the "i386" directory:
rt_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz
jre_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz
i18n_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz
What are they, are they required, and where do they get installed?
Please enlighten me. I'm really confused and just want to write java
GUIs.
Thanks!
