To check if you’re running a compatible version of Java, open a command
prompt/shell and enter "java –version
". You should see something like…
java version "1.4"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard
Edition (build 1.4-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4-b02,
mixed mode)
This assumes,
of course, that Java is on your PATH. If it’s not, you’ll have to supply
the path to the Java executable in the above command.
Java is cross-platform so Thingamablog will run on any platform on which Java can run.
