Getting Started

    Java Development Kit 1.1.7B for UnixWare 7

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, Just-In Time (JIT) compiler, runtime classes, compiler, and basic tools for using Java.

The JDK 1.1.7B web download contains the following improvements over JDK117A:

System Requirements

Software: UnixWare 7.1.1, UnixWare 7.1.0, or UnixWare 7.0.1 with required PTFs (See the JDK 1.1.7B Release Notes.)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 15MB to 132MB free disk space depending on which packages are installled

Installation

Once you have downloaded the product files from the Download page, perform the following steps as root:

  1. Move the files to a preferred installation directory, for example:
    mv  P*.tar  /tmp or
    mv  D*.tar  /tmp
  2. Change to the installation directory:
    cd  /tmp
  3. Extract the files. This command must be performed on each file individually.
    tar  xvf  <filename>.tar
  4. Concatenate the resulting files as follows:
    cat  jdk1  jdk2  >  jdk117.ds.Z
    cat  jdkpls1  jdkpls2  jdkpls3  >  jdk117pls.ds.Z
  5. Uncompress the files:
    uncompress  *.Z
  6. Install the packages as described in the JDK 1.1.7B Release Notes:
    pkgadd  -d  /tmp/jdk117.ds
    pkgadd  -d  /tmp/jdk117pls.ds

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