Installation Notes for 64-bit Support
Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition
Version 1.4.0
Solaris (SPARC Platform Edition) Operating Environment
Requirements
Support for 64-bit operation of the Java 2 SDK is available as
a supplemental installation for the
Solaris operating environment
on SPARC platforms.
To install the 64-bit Java 2 SDK on your SPARC platform,
you must follow a two-step procedure. First, install the 32-bit
Java 2 SDK using the 32-bit
Installation Instructions.
Second, install the supplemental support for 64-bit operation by following
the 64-bit Installation Instructions below.
64-bit Installation Instructions
Follow this procedure if you want to install support for 64-bit operation
of the Java 2 SDK on SPARC processors. You must
install the 32-bit Java 2 SDK before
proceeding with these instructions.
As with the installation of the 32-bit Java 2 SDK, the 64-bit
supplemental support is available in two installation formats.
Use the same installation format as you used
for the installation of the 32-bit Java 2 SDK.
Installation of Self-Extracting Binary
Use these instructions if you want to use the self-extracting
binary file to install the Java 2 SDK. If you want to install
Solaris packages comprising the SDK, use Installation
of Packages below.
1.
Check the download file size
to ensure that you have downloaded the full,
uncorrupted software bundle:
j2sdk-1_4_0-solsparcv9.sh 5055894 bytes
2.
Make sure that execute permissions are set on
the self-extracting binary:
chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_0-solsparcv9.sh
3.
Move the self-extracting binary to the directory
in which you installed the 32-bit Java 2 SDK.
4.
Run the self-extracting binary.
Launch the self-extracting binary file. The binary code license
will be displayed, and you will be prompted to agree to its terms.
The supplemental files for 64-bit support will be installed in
directories named sparcv9 at several locations within
the 32-bit Java 2 SDK.
Installation of Packages
Use these instructions if you want to use the pkdadd utility to install
the 64-bit support for the Java 2 SDK.
1.
Check the download file size
to ensure that you have downloaded the full,
uncorrupted software bundle:
j2sdk-1_4_0-solsparcv9.tar.Z 6867563 bytes
2.
Extract the contents of the compressed tar file:
zcat j2sdk-1_4_0-solsparcv9.tar.Z | tar -xf -
This will create packages packages SUNWj3dvx, SUNWj3rtx, and
SUNWj3dmx which contain 64-bit support for the Java 2 SDK.
3.
Become root by running su and entering
the super-user password.
4.
Uninstall 64-bit packages from previous Beta installation (if any)
If you have previously installed packages SUNWj3rtx, SUNWj3dvx, and
SUNWj3dbx for 64-bit support in a previous Beta release, you should
remove them:
pkgrm SUNWj3rtx SUNWj3dvx SUNWj3dbx
5.
Run the pkgadd command to install the packages.
pkgadd -d . SUNWj3rtx SUNWj3dvx SUNWj3dmx
This will install the files for 64-bit support into the
J2SDK 1.4.0 installation at /usr/j2se.
6.
Delete the tar files and extracted directories.
7.
Exit the root shell.
