If you do not already havethe JDK software installed or if JAVA_HOME is not set, the Java CAPS installation will notbe successful. The following tasks provide the information you needto install JDK software and set JAVA_HOME on UNIXor Windows systems.
My PC: Win 7 32-bit, Eclipse Kepler Initially, I had JDK 1.7. Then,due to my project, I have to now run jdk 1.6, which I just installed. File name:'jdk-6u25-windows-i586.exe'.I ran it. During JDK install, Java menu items are added to the Windows Start menu to provide easy access to Reference Documentation, which is online documentation web page. During JDK installation and uninstallation processes, the appropriate start menu items are updated so that they are associated with the latest JDK version on the system. I see many different Java terms floating around. I need to install the JDK 1.6. It was my understanding that Java 6 Java 1.6. However, when I install Java SE 6, I get a JVM that reports as ve.
The following list provides the Java CAPS JDK requirements byplatform.
Project site: Screen shots: Download: Download JDK 64 bit 1.6.0.26 http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=49185.
JDK5: At least release 1.5.0_14
JDK6: At least release 1.6.0_03
JDK5: The latest 1.5 release supported by IBM AIX
JDK5: At least release 1.5.0_14
JDK6: At least release 1.6.0_03
JDK5: The latest 1.5 release supported by Apple
JDK5: At least release 1.5.0_14
JDK6: At least release 1.6.0_03
Caution –It is not recommended to user JDK 1.6.0_13 or 1.6.0_14with Java CAPS due to issues with several of the wizards used to developapplications. Inaddition, the installation fails on Windows when using JDK 1.6.0_13or 1.6.0_14. The Java CAPS Installerdoes not support JDK release 1.6.0_04 in the 64–bit versionon Solaris SPARC or AMD 64–bit environments. The installer alsodoes not support JDK 1.6.0 or later on AIX 5.3.
Java Jdk 1.6.0
To Install the JDK Softwareand Set JAVA_HOME on a UNIX System
Install the JDK software.
Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
Select the appropriate JDK software version and clickDownload.
The JDK software is installed on your computer,for example, /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_02. You can changethis location.
Set JAVA_HOME.
Korn and bash shells:
Bourne shell:
C shell:
Change the permissions to enable you to run the Java CAPSInstaller.
To Install the JDK Softwareand Set JAVA_HOME on a Windows System
Install the JDK software.
Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
Select the appropriate JDK software and click Download.
The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example,at C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_02. You can movethe JDK software to another location if desired.
To set JAVA_HOME:
Right click My Computer and select Properties.
On the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables, andthen edit JAVA_HOME to point to where the JDK softwareis located, for example, C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_02.
Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based and object-oriented. It was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems. Java applications are compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.
Java is currently owned by the Oracle Corporation which acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010. Following tutorial will show you how to setup and configure Java 1.7 on Windows so you can develop and run Java code.
Check following posts if you are looking to download and install JDK 1.5, JDK 1.6, JDK 1.8, JDK 1.9 or JDK 1.10.
Java can be obtained from the Oracle Java download page. There are a number of different Java packages available, for this tutorial we will be installing Java Standard Edition (SE) on Windows.
In order to be able to compile Java code, we need the Java Development Kit (JDK) package that comes with a Java compiler. The JDK package also comes with a Java runtime environment (JRE) that is needed to run compiled Java code.
As we are installing an older Java version, you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Oracle Java download page and click on the Download button in the Java Archive section. Then look for the Java SE 7 link and after clicking on it, select the correct operating system under Java SE Development Kit 7u80.
Java Jdk 1.6
Here is the direct link to download the jdk 1.7.0_80 installer for Windows 32 or 64 bit.
Accept the License Agreement and pick the correct download for your operating system. In this example, we will use the Windows 64 bit version.
Sign in using your Oracle account (or create a new one) and the download should start. Once the download is complete, locate the jdk-7u80-windows-x64.exe file and double-click to run the installer.
Java Jdk 1.6 Download Windows
Click Next and on the following screen optionally change the installation location by clicking on the Change... button. In this example the install location was changed to 'C:Javajdk1.7.0_80'. From now on we will refer to this directory as: [java_install_dir].
Next, the installer will present the installation location of the public JRE. We will skip this part of the installer as the JDK installed in the previous step comes with a private JRE that can run developed code. Just press Cancel and confirm by clicking Yes in the popup window.
Click Next and then Close to finish installing Java.
In order for Java applications to be able to run we need to setup a 'JAVA_HOME' environment variable that will point to the Java installation directory. In addition, if we want to run Java commands from a command prompt we need to setup the 'PATH' environment variable to contain the Java bin directory.
When using Windows the above parameters can be configured on the Environment Variables panel. Click on the Windows Start button and enter “env” without quotes as shown below.
Environment variables can be set at account level or at system level. For this example click on Edit environment variables for your account and following panel should appear.
Click on the New button and enter “JAVA_HOME” as variable name and the [java_install_dir] as variable value. In this tutorial the installation directory is 'C:Javajdk1.7.0_80'. Click OK to to save.
Click on the New button and enter “PATH” as variable name and “%JAVA_HOME%bin” as variable value. Click OK to save.
Note that in case a 'PATH' variable is already present you can add “;%JAVA_HOME%bin” at the end of the variable value.
The result should be as shown below. Click OK to close the environment variables panel.
In order to test the above configuration, open a command prompt by clicking on the Windows Start button and typing “cmd” followed by pressing ENTER. A new command prompt should open in which the following command can be entered to verify the installed Java version:
Java Jdk 1.6.0
The result should be as shown below.
