Installing Sun J2SE

When installing Sun's J2SE, keep the following in mind:

  • Use version 1.3 or higher. This may be obtained at: http://java.sun.com/j2se

  • Install it into a path containing NO spaces, for example: c:\j2sdk1.3

  • Accept install of Windows JRE

  • After install, create java_home environment pointing at the root of the J2SE installation.

Verify that the J2SE installed properly by typing the following at a command prompt: C:\java -version

The output should be: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.x)

Where x denotes a specific build of version 1.3.

Win32 Note: If the JRE was NOT installed with the default installation, java.exe will need to be added to the PATH variable.
