OVERVIEW -------- The SunSoft Press Java Series CD-ROM is included with Core Java, Instant Java, Java by Example, and Just Java. This CD-ROM is a standard ISO-9660 disc. The Java programs from each of the four books and the Java Developer's Kit (JDK) for Solaris 2.x are stored on this disc as tar archives. The SOLARIS2 directory contains the following files: corejava.tar Programs from Core Java instjava.tar Programs from Instant Java javaexam.tar Programs from Java by Example jdk_1_0_.tar Solaris 2.x JDK (Release 1.0) justjava.tar Programs from Just Java readme.txt This file INSTALLATION NOTES ------------------ To install the Java programs for the book you are using: 1) Make a directory on your UNIX filesystem and change to that directory. Then copy the appropriate tar file from the CD-ROM to that directory. 2) Use the command tar -xvf to unarchive the file. For example: tar -xvf corejava.tar To install the Java Developer's Kit (Solaris 2.3 or later): 1) Make a directory on your UNIX filesystem and change to that directory. Then copy the file jdk_1_0_.tar to that directory. 2) Use the command tar -xvf to unarchive the file. For example: tar -xvf jdk_1_0_.tar 3) Add or modify the appropriate variables in your .cshrc (or whatever initialization file is appropriate for the shell you use) to put the Java bin directory in your path and to set a CLASSPATH to point to the Java runtime library. 4) Logout and login again so the new variables take effect.
