The JavaTM Runtime Environment
Release 1.1.8_005 for SCO Operating Systems,
also known as JRE 1.1.8 for SCO, package name jre118
,
matches the Sun product configuration of the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE). It is the minimum standard Java platform for running Java programs
and contains the Java virtual machine, Java core classes, and supporting files.
The JRE does not contain any of
the development tools or classes that
pertain only to a development environment.
The
JDK 1.1.8 for SCO Release Notes include a section describing the
JRE and should be read prior to installing the jre118
package.
The jre118
package is by default installed in
/usr/jre/
, with that actually being a symbolic link
to /opt/jre-1.1.8/
.
However, it is possible
for an ISV or system administrator to change where the JRE is installed.
See the
JDK 1.1.8 for SCO Release Notes
for details.
Note again that the JRE package is intended for use by ISVs; if you
are an end user, you should simply use the regular jdk118
package
(and jdk118pls
package if desired) instead, which despite
its "development kit" name also includes
everything necessary for a Java runtime environment as well as for a
Java development environment. These packages are available for download
at http://www.sco.com/download/
under Java Development Kit, Release 1.1.8 for SCO Operating Systems.
The JRE 1.1.8 for SCO product will run on the following versions of SCO operating system platforms, with the indicated provisos:
