- <h1>Installing the Java Toolkit</h1>
-
- <a name="DESCRIPTION"><img src="descript.gif" width=220 height=60 alt="Description"></a>
- <p>
- The classes provided with the Evans Java Toolkit must be manually installed.
- The classes are configured as a java <strong>package</strong> named <strong>evans.toolkit</strong>.
- One copy of the <strong>evans.toolkit package</strong> must be installed
- on your web site and one copy on the computer used to develop your java programs.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Additionally, the java <strong>classpath</strong> may need modified on the development
- computer to include the location of the new <strong>evans.toolkit package</strong>.
- <p>
-
- <p>
- If you are using a registered version of the Evans Java Toolkit, you will also need a
- copy of the <a href="license.htm">Epjava.lic</a> license file installed on the development
- computer <strong>and</strong> on the web site.

-
- <img src="winfile1.gif" border="1" width=380 height=236 alt="Directory Structure of evans.toolkit">
-
- <p>
- Initially, the Evans Java Toolkit <strong>package</strong>, <strong>evans.toolkit</strong>, is installed in the
- directory where you instructed the Setup program to install your toolkit.
- For example, if you instructed setup to install the Java Toolkit in "c:\Program Files\Evans Java Toolkit",
- then within the "Evans Java Toolkit" folder will be a folder called "evans". Within the "evans" folder will be a
- folder called "toolkit". The "toolkit" folder contains the actual Java Toolkit classes.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The "evans" folder and <strong>all</strong> its' contents comprise the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> <strong>package</strong>.
- When you copy the <strong>package</strong> to it's destination(s),
- the file and folder structures, names and case <strong>must</strong> be retained!
- </p>
-
- <h3>Installing the Toolkit on the Development Computer</h3>
-
- <p>
- To install the Toolkit for development on a local hard drive, copy the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> <strong>package</strong> to
- a folder on your hard drive where it can be easily accessed during development. A good choice
- would be in a folder already referenced by your <strong>classpath</strong>.
- </p>
-
- <p>On my computer, I have <strong>classpath</strong> pointing to c:\windows\java. Therefore, I chose to
- copy the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> <strong>package</strong> to that location so I would not need to modify my
- <strong>classpath</strong>.
- </p>
-
- After installing the evans.toolkit, in c:\windows\java, I had the following
- directories and files;
-
- <dl>
- <dd>c:\windows\java\evans\toolkit\ClientIO.class
- <dd>c:\windows\java\evans\toolkit\FormTool.class
- <dd>c:\windows\java\evans\toolkit\License.class
- <dd>c:\windows\java\evans\toolkit\MsgBox.class
- </dl>
-
- Alternatively, I could have left my toolkit <strong>package</strong> in the "c:\Program Files\Evans Java Toolkit"
- folder and modified my <strong>classpath</strong>;
-
- <dl>
- <dd>Before - c:\windows\java
- <dd>After - c:\windows\java;c:\Program Files\Evans Java Toolkit
- </dl>
-
- So, either install the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> <strong>package</strong> in a folder within the
- current <strong>classpath</strong>, or modify your <strong>classpath</strong>
- to include the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> <strong>package</strong>. Refer to the documentation supplied with your java development system for more
- information on the <strong>classpath</strong>.
-
- <h3>Installing the Toolkit on a Web Server</h3>
-
- <p>
- To install the Toolkit for use by your applet(s) on a web server, copy the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong>
- <strong>package</strong> into the folder on your server containing the classes that call <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> methods.
- On my web site, my main java classes are in a directory called http://www.Evans-Programming.com/java.
- </p>
-
- After installing the <strong>evans.toolkit</strong> in http://www.Evans-Programming.com/java, I had the following
- directories and files;
-
- <dl>
- <dd>http://www.Evans-Programming.com/java/evans/toolkit/ClientIO.class
- <dd>http://www.Evans-Programming.com/java/evans/toolkit/FormTool.class
- <dd>http://www.Evans-Programming.com/java/evans/toolkit/License.class
- <dd>http://www.Evans-Programming.com/java/evans/toolkit/MsgBox.class
- </dl>
