SDK/RTE 1.4.2.28 Release Notes

browser. Both files are found in the directory jre/bin and jre/, respectively, under
the directory where the Runtime Plug-in has been installed.
The Control Panel application generates a file:
$HOME/.java/deployment/deployment.properties
This file contains, among other settings, the path to the RTE to be used by the Runtime
Plug-in for HP-UX when the browser loads an applet from a Runtime Plug-in enabled
html page. If the Plug-in is installed in the default location, this setting is stored in the
key:
javaplugin.jre.path=/opt/java1.4/jre
No environment variables are necessary for configuring the Runtime Plug-In for HP-UX,
Java Edition. However, you may optionally use the following environment variables.
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
You can use the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to direct the Mozilla browser
to search alternate directories for plug-in libraries.
NOTE: The entries in the $HOME/.java/deployment/deployment.properties
file supersede those of MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH when locating the RTE.
CLASSPATH
A user's CLASSPATH environment variable can be passed by the JVM by running the
Control Panel and specifying either -cp or -classpath in the "Java Run Time
Parameter" box. You need to exit and rerun the browser for this change to take effect.

Enabling HTML pages to use the Runtime Plug-in for HP-UX
The first time the Mozilla browser loads an applet from a Runtime Plug-in-enabled
HTML page, it will download and install the Runtime Plug-in for HP-UX. Oracle has
provided some additional tools to assist users in using Plug-in products. They have
provided a converter to automate the enabling on HTML pages. They also provide an
HTML specification for users who wish to enable their HTML pages manually.
Information on Oracle HTML converter and specification is available at http://
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/features-140082.html. You may want to use it to
modify your HTML pages to specify use of the Runtime Plug-in for HP-UX, Java Edition,
version 1.4.x instead of the default browser version of the HP-UX Runtime Environment
for Java.
GC log-rotation support
Prior to SDK 1.4.2.23, when using GC logging options (for example, -Xverbosegc or
-Xloggc), GC data is written to a single file of unlimited size. Starting with SDK
