System RequirementsThe Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition, v. 1.4.1 is intended for use on the Solaris 7, Solaris 8, and Solaris 9 Operating Environments.Prior to installing the Java 2 Runtime Environment, you should insure that you have installed the full set of required patches needed for support of this release. Recommended and required patches are hosted for download on the SunSolve website. See also Solaris Font Package Requirements for information about which font packages should be on your system.
Installation InstructionsThe Java 2 Runtime Environment (Java RE), Standard Edition, v1.4.1 comes in the form of a self-extracting binary file. Follow the instructions below to install the J2RE.At the end of this file, see also: Java Plug-in Installation Instructions 64-bit support for the Java 2 Runtime Environment is available for SPARC processor platforms in a separate download. Installation instructions for 64-bit support are in a separate document.
1. Check the download file size Before you download a file, notice that its byte size is provided on the download page. 2. Make sure that execute permissions are set on the self-extracting binary: On SPARC processors: 3. Change directory to the location where you would like the files to be installed. 4. Run the self-extracting binary. A directory called j2re1.4.1_<version number> will be created in the current directory. Note about System Preferences - By default, the installation script configures the system such that the backing store for system preferences is created inside the Java 2 SDK's installation directory. If the SDK is installed on a network-mounted drive, it and the system preferences can be exported for sharing with Java runtime environments on other machines. As an alternative, root users can use the -localinstall option when running the installation script, as in this example: This option causes the system preferences to be stored in the /etc directory from where they can be shared only by VMs running on the local machine. You must be root user for the -localinstall option to work.j2re-1_4_1_<version number>-solaris-i586.sh -localinstall See the Preferences API documentation for more information about preferences in the Java platform.
Java Plug-in Installation InstructionsSee Java Plug-in Installation Instructions in the Installation Notes for Java2 SDK, Standard Edition.
Java Web Start Installation InstructionsJava RE 1.4.1 includes the Java Web Start product. In the top-level directory you will find a ZIP file named javaws-1_2_0_<version number>-solaris-sparc-i.zip on SPARC platforms and javaws-1_2_0_<version number>-solaris-i586-i.zip on x86 platforms. The <version number> notation refers to the current Java Web Start version number.
Location of libjvm.so filesIf you use the Invocation API to launch an application directly rather than using the Java application launcher, be sure to use the correct paths to invoke the Java HotSpot Client VM or Java HotSpot Server VM as desired. The path within the SDK to the Java HotSpot Client VM is:jre/lib/sparc/client/libjvm.so (on SPARC processors)The path to the Java HotSpot Server VM is: jre/lib/sparc/server/libjvm.so (on SPARC processors)The Exact VM and Classic VM are no longer part of the Java 2 platform, and legacy code that uses the Invocation API to launch an application based on old paths to the Exact or Classic VMs do not work. | |||||||||||
