Getting Started

Java^TM 2, Standard Edition, v. 1.3.0_02
for Caldera^® UNIX^® Operating Systems

The Java 2 Standard Edition contains both the Java 2 Runtime Environment, which allows Caldera UNIX end users to run Java applets and applications on Caldera UNIX operating systems, and the Java 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK), which enables Caldera UNIX OEMs, ISVs, and end users to develop Java applets and applications that conform to the Java 2 Core API.

J2SE 1.3 for Caldera 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, v. 1.3.0_02. (The _02 suffix indicates the patch level of the Sun J2SE that J2SE 1.3 for Caldera UNIX corresponds to.)

Note: This is a separate Java implementation from the Java 2 Standard Edition implementation available for Caldera OpenLinux.

Note that there was an earlier release of J2SE 1.3.0_02 for Caldera UNIX before this one. It was documented as a final release for Open UNIX 8 and UnixWare 7, but as only a beta release for SCO OpenServer 5. Its build version string, as shown by the java -version command, was *FCS-OU8*FCS-UW7*BETA-OSR5*:010602-10:46. This newer release is a final release for SCO OpenServer 5, and also contains fixes for Caldera-specific problems on Open UNIX 8 and UnixWare 7 discovered since the earlier release went out. This newer release has a build version string of *fixes-OU8*fixes-UW7*FCS-OSR5*:<later-date-and-time>.

System Requirements and Supported Platforms

For complete details regarding system requirements, prerequisite packages and supported platforms, see the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), v. 1.3.0_02 for Caldera UNIX Release Notes that are distributed along with the java2sdk3 package and installed in /usr/java2 in both HTML and text format. The Release Notes are also available for download from this download page for added convenience.

Download and Installation

The J2SE 1.3 product is distributed as two separate installable packages:

Package	Approx. Size	Description
java2sdk3	34MB	Contains both the development tools and runtime support
java2pls3	39MB	Java2 demos and debuggable versions of many of the commands and libraries

To download and install the J2SE 1.3 product:

Select the package you wish to download. (Note the packages are in pkgadd datastream format.)
As root, move the files to a preferred installation directory (make sure there is enough space available), for example:
mv java2sdk3.pkg.Z /tmp1
mv java2pls3.pkg.Z /tmp1
Change to the installation directory:
cd /tmp1
Uncompress the files:
uncompress *.Z
Install any necessary prerequisite package(s) as described in the Release Notes.
Install the packages using pkgadd. The java2pls3 package is an optional package and is not required to use either the Java2 Runtime Environment or the J2SDK. If you do choose to install it, you must first install the java2sdk3 package.
pkgadd -d /tmp1/java2sdk3.pkg
pkgadd -d /tmp1/java2pls3.pkg
When you have completed the installation, you will probably want to remove the download packages from the /tmp1 directory.
