NOTE: When downloading a .depot file, some browsers don't recognize the
.depot format and treat the file as a text file. If this happens, right-click the Download
Directly >> button (on the Software download confirmation window) and select Save
Target As....
To verify that the file downloaded correctly you need to use MD5 Secure Checksum
(md5sum). You can download MD5 Secure Checksum at HP-UX MD5 Secure Checksum
if you do not already have this utility. To verify your download with MD5 Secure
Checksum, at the UNIX prompt, execute the command:
md5sum <filename>
If the file downloaded correctly, the checksum number for the file you downloaded
should match the MD5 Checksum number given for that file.
The SDK for the Java™ Platform installs under /opt/java1.4. The RTE is installed
under /opt/java1.4/jre. If you have a previous installation of 1.4, please uninstall
it using swremove and move any personal files from your existing /opt/java1.4
directory before you begin the new installation. If you do not uninstall a previous
installation, you may see messages such as "Error: You have specified more than one
fileset selection." As root user, use the following SD-UX swinstall command to install
the software:
/usr/sbin/swinstall
This command will lead you through the installation. Change Source Depot Type to
"Local Directory" and Source Depot Path to /tmp/<filename>. (If you used a directory
other than /tmp in the previous step, replace /tmp with that directory name.) We
recommend you select the "Reinstall filesets" and unselect the "Mount file systems"
option from the options menu.
CAUTION: Do not unarchive rt.jar, charsets.jar, jpda.jar, tools.jar,
jce.jar, and jsse.jar. These files are needed by the SDK tools and the runtime
environment.
Add the directory /opt/java1.4/bin to your PATH.
NOTE: To install the software into an alternate location, see Installing into an alternate
location (page 12).
