Getting Started

    Java Development Kit 1.1.7A for SCO OpenServer systems

The Java Development Kit (JDK) for SCO Operating Systems ^TM is a powerful development environment that is portable, object-oriented, platform independent, and especially well-suited for developing Internet-enabled applications. The JDK includes the Java Virtual Machine, runtime classes, compiler, and basic tools for using Java.

The JDK 1.1.7A web download contains a number of fixes and performance improvements to the JDK 1.1.7 and includes a debuggable Virtual Machine.

System Requirements

Installation

1. Move the files to a preferred installation directory, for example:

   mv  P*.tar  /tmp2 or
   mv  C*.tar  /tmp2

2. Change to the installation directory:

   cd  /tmp2

3. Extract the files. This command must be performed on each file individually.
   

   tar  xvf  <filename>.tar
   

4. Uncompress the files:

   uncompress  *.Z

5. If the Version 7.1.0 UDK Compatibility Module for OpenServer is not already installed on your system, install it now. The 7.1.0 Compatibility Module can be downloaded from the following location:

   ftp://ftp.sco.com/udk/openserver5

   ---

   NOTE: You must remove any previous OSRcompat module from your SCO OpenServer system before installing a newer version. To remove the older version, enter:
   
   pkgrm  OSRcompat.version_string_if_any

   ---

   To confirm whether an OSRcompat module has been installed on your system, enter:

   pkginfo  |  grep  OSRcompat

6. Install the JDK files in the following order:

   pkgadd  -d  /tmp2/jdk117.ds
   pkgadd  -d  /tmp2/jdk117pls.ds

7. When you have completed the installation, you will probably want to remove the download packages from the /tmp2 directory, as they are rather large.
