JDK 1.1.3 Final Kit Readme

The Java^TM Development Kit (JDK) lets you write applets and applications that conform to the Java Core API.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure you understand the Copyright and License information before using this release.

To Install and Use this Kit:

If you are using Netscape, your CLASSPATH environment variable might be set to something like CLASSPATH=/usr/local/lib/netscape/30.

If so, change your setting to something like this:

CLASSPATH=.:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib/netscape/30

If you are not currently setting CLASSPATH, you do not need to set it.

To run the HotJava browser, you also need to:

• Set THREADS_FLAG=native because our port of the JDK uses native threads, while the solaris JDK uses green threads.

• Set JDK_HOME to the location where java was installed; by default, it is / (the root directory). /usr might also work.
