The JiniTM Technology Extended Platform (JXP) provides standard Jini software extension and utility specifications and software that are useful in writing Jini applications and services.
The JiniTM Software Kit (JSK) provides implementations of the Lookup and Transaction Manager services specified in the Jini Technology Core Platform (JCP) and the Jini Technology Extended Platform (JXP).
The JCP, JXP and JSK are being distributed in downloadable file which contains the source code, executable files, and complete documentation. Additionally, you have the option to download only the documentation. The documentation-only distribution is still copyright protected by Sun, but is made available without a license. If you decide to download and install the the binary-and-documentation distribution, you will have all of the specs and API documentation that are included in the documentation-only distribution.
The JavaSpacesTM Technology Kit (JSTK)
provides implementations of the JavaSpaces services specified in the
Jini Technology Extended Platform (JXP). The 1.0 Evaluation release of
the JSTK binary software distribution consists of the
com.sun.jini.outrigger
software, its API documentation,
release notes for those classes and interfaces, examples, and
references to the specific copyrights and licenses that protect each of
the aforementioned components.
There are currently three Jini technology distribution bundles available. One includes the binaries, source code, and support documentation, and one includes only the supporting documentation. These are named:
jini10.zip
The binaries, source code, and documentation
jinidoc10.zip
The supporting documentation
jini1_0
. The documentation-only package will extract into
the jinidoc1_0
directory, but you can follow the software
extraction instructions, substituting the jinidoc10.zip
file name where appropriate.
Create the directory where you would like the software to reside. For example:
% mkdir /files % cp downloaded-path/jini10.zip /files % cd /files
C:\> mkdir C:\files C:\> copy downloaded-path\jini10.zip C:\files C:\> cd C:\files
Extract the zip file:
jar
command, included
in the bin
directory of the JDK, as long as it
it reachable from your executable path.
% jar xvf jini10.zip
% unzip -d jini10.zip
- index.html
The starting page for all documentation
- doc
The directory that contains API documentation, supporting documentation for the examples, this installation file, license file(s), and release notes
- example
The directory that contains supporting files for running the example code
- lib
The directory where the jar files are located
- source
The directory where the source code for the binary classes is located
The JSTK Eval distribution bundle includes the binaries and support
documentation, jstkbin10-EA.zip
. The
jstkbin10-EA.zip
file extracts into the same directory as
the Jini software, jini1_0
.
The current packaging of the JSTK requires that the Jini software
be installed before the JSTK. The software packages build upon one
another so the Jini software needs to be installed for the JSTK to
work. If the Jini software and JSTK have been installed,
but in the incorrect order, the API documentation will be
incomplete, as may be the ./index.html
file.
Create the directory where you would like the software to reside. For example:
% mkdir /files % cp downloaded-path/jstkbin10-EA.zip /files % cd /files
C:\> mkdir C:\files C:\> copy downloaded-path\jstkbin10-EA.zip C:\files C:\> cd C:\files
Extract the zip file:
jar
command, included
in the bin
directory of the JDK, as long as it
it reachable from your executable path.
% jar xvf jstkbin10-EA.zip
% unzip -d jstkbin10-EA.zip
- index.html
The starting page for all documentation

The directory that contains API documentation, supporting documentation for the examples, this installation file, license file(s), and release notes
