Getting Started

Java^TM 2, Standard Edition 5.0 update 06
for SCO^Ž UNIX^Ž Operating Systems

This release of Java 2 Standard Edition contains:

the Java 2 Runtime Environment, which allows SCO UNIX end users to run Java applets and applications on SCO UNIX operating systems
the Java 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK), which enables SCO UNIX OEMs, ISVs, and end users to develop Java applets and applications that conform to the Java 2 Core API
the Java 2 Plugin for the Mozilla browsers released for UnixWare 7.1.4 and OpenServer 6.0.0.

J2SE 5.0 for SCO UNIX is a full implementation of the Sun Microsystems^TM Java 2 Platform - the technology and environment described in the Sun^TM specifications of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, 5.0, update 06. (The "update 06" indicates the patch level of the Sun J2SE that J2SE 5.0 for SCO UNIX corresponds to.)

Changes in This Release

J2SE 5.0 update 06

J2SE 5.0 for SCO UNIX is a major new release compared to the previous J2SE 1.4.2 for SCO UNIX. J2SE 5.0 update 06 for SCO UNIX, the initial J2SE 5.0 release on SCO UNIX platforms, is being released on the SCO Support web-pages for UnixWare 7.1.4 and OpenServer 6.0.0.

System Requirements and Supported Platforms

Supported SCO UNIX platforms:

SCO OpenServer^TM Release 6.0.0 operating system
UnixWare^Ž 7.1.4 operating system

J2SE 5.0 for SCO UNIX is not supported on older versions of the supported operating systems, such as SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.x or UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.3 or earlier, nor is it available for older operating systems, such as the SCO UnixWare 2 operating system.

The J2SE 5.0 is identical for all supported platforms, and everything in these release notes applies to all supported platforms.
