The following instructions are for the JavaTM 2 Platform,
Standard Edition Development Kit (J2SE 5.0 Update 16 (JDK)) and the NetBeans
IDE 6.1 integrated development environment bundle installer for the
following Operating Systems:
Installing the J2SE 5.0 Update 16 (JDK) and NetBeans IDE 6.1 Software
Bundle on the Windows Operating System
You can install the J2SE 5.0 Update 16 (JDK) software and NetBeans IDE
in directories of your choice. You must, however, have Administrator privileges
for this installer to install the JDK and NetBeans IDE. By default,
the installer places the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_16, regardless of the specified JDK install location.
Note: This installer will not displace the system version of
the Java platform that is supplied by the Windows Operating System.
Both J2SE 5.0 Update 16 (JDK) and NetBeans IDE 6.1 have been tested on
the following:
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional (SP2)
- Microsoft Windows Vista Professional
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (SP4)
Download the installation file into a directory of your choice.
Once the jdk-1_5_0_16-nb-6_1-windows-ml.exe has completed
downloading, verify that the process successfully completed by comparing its
byte count with that posted on the download page. Alternately, if the checksum
fingerprint is provided on the download page, you can use the md5sum command
to verify that the downloaded file's fingerprint matches. If the file's byte
count or fingerprint do not match, the file may have been corrupted during
the download process. If this happens, download the bundle again.
Prepare for installation.
- Verify that your system meets or exceeds the minimum
hardware requirements:
- Verify that you have Administrator privileges on your system.
Run the installer.
- Double-click jdk-1_5_0_16-nb-6_1-windows-ml.exe to launch
the installer.
- In the installation wizard, respond to the License Agreement.
Note: You must check Accept in the License Agreement
panel for the software installation to proceed.
- Specify the directories within which you wish to install the bundle components.
- Review the Installation Preview Panel to ensure the software installation
location is correct.
- Click Next to proceed with the installation.
- When the installation is complete, you can review the log file (/located at %USERPROFILE%/\.nbi\log directory)
to verify the software was installed correctly. If necessary, you can then
delete the downloaded installation file to recover disk space.

Note: If you uninstall the J2SE 5.0 Update 16 (JDK) software, but
wish to continue using NetBeans IDE 6.1, you must set the IDE's
-jdkhome parameter to point to an alternate installation of the J2SE
JDK as outlined below.
To uninstall the J2SE Runtime Environment:
- From your system's Start menu, open the Control Panel.
