- Introduction
-
- Thank you for downloading this release of the Java(TM) 2 SDK,
- Standard Edition. The Java 2 SDK is a development environment for
- building applications, applets, and components that can be
- deployed on the Java platform.
-
- The Java 2 SDK software includes tools useful for developing and
- testing programs written in the Java programming language and
- running on the Java platform. These tools are designed to be used
- from the command line. Except for appletviewer, these tools do not
- provide a graphical user interface.
-
- The Java 2 SDK comes with the Java Plug-in product. You can use
- the Java Plug-in product to enable the Internet Explorer and
- Netscape Navigator browsers to run applets based on the Java 2
- Platform. For more information about the Java Plug-in product,
- see the section titled "Java 2 Runtime Environment and Java
- Plug-in" in the README.html file.
-
-
- Installation
-
- The complete Java 2 SDK is composed of the SDK Software plus the
- SDK Documentation, each of which is separately downloadable.
- Installation instructions are maintained on the
- Java Developer Connection web site:
-

- Demos
-
- A demo directory is included in this software bundle with a
- variety of applets, Swing applications, and other examples for
- you to try out. The demos come with complete source code.
-
-
- Java 2 SDK Documentation
-
- The on-line Java 2 SDK Documentation contains API specifications,
- developer guides, tool reference pages, demos, and links to
- related information. It is located at
-
- http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/
-
- The Java 2 SDK documentation is also available in a download bundle
- which you can install locally with your Java 2 SDK software. See the
- Java 2 SDK download page:
-
- http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-docs.html
-
-
- System Requirements
-
- Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000 operating
- systems running on Intel hardware. A Pentium 166 MHz or faster
- processor.
-
- At least 32 megabytes of physical RAM is required to run GUI
- applications. Forty-eight megabytes is recommended for applets
- running within a browser using the Java Plug-in product.
- Running with less memory may cause disk swapping which has a severe
- effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for
- adequate performance.
-
- You should have 65 megabytes of free disk space before attempting
- to install the Java 2 SDK software. If you also install the
- separate documentation download bundle, you need an additional 120
- megabytes of free disk space.
