System Requirements and Supported Platforms

Supported SCO UNIX platforms:

J2SE 1.3.1 for SCO UNIX is not supported on older versions of the supported SCO operating systems, such as SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.5 or UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.0, nor is it available for older operating systems, such as the SCO UnixWare 2 operating system.

J2SE 1.3.1 for SCO UNIX cannot be used with the older OSRcompat packages that were released together with UnixWare 7 Release 7.0, UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.0, or UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.1.

[*] Package urwfonts is available as part of the UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.3, the Open UNIX 8.0.0 and the OpenServer 5.0.7 media kits and is automatically installed as part of Initial System Load if Java is installed. It is also available on the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit 7.1.3, the Open UNIX Development Kit Release 8.0.0 or may be downloaded from this download page.

[**] The recommended runtime for UnixWare and Open UNIX is the various library packages version 8.0.1 that are part of the UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.3 media kit, on the UnixWare and Open Server Development Kit version 7.1.3 CD-ROM, or the UnixWare 7.1.3 (UDK) Runtime Libraries available at the SCO download site, http://www.sco.com/download/. The required runtime on OpenServer 5 are the libraries contained in the package set OSRcompat version 8.0.1 available on the UnixWare and Open Server Development Kit 7.1.3 CD-ROM, the SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 media, or in the Binary Compatibility 7.1.3 for OpenServer on the SCO download site, http://www.sco.com/download/.

Package set udkrtfs, is available for free download from http://www.sco.com/download/. Click on "UNIX", then choose "UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit Feature Supplement 7.1.1b", then look for the downloadable file udkrtfs.image.Z.

Download and Installation

The J2SE 1.3.1 product is distributed as four separate installable Java packages plus a urwfonts package, if needed.

Installation with the UnixWare package tools on UnixWare, Open UNIX or OpenServer

  1. Print or save a copy of this "Getting Started" page for later reference.

  2. Download a copy of the current J2SE 1.3.1_19 Release Notes (ReleaseNotes.html)and save, also for later reference.

  3. Select and download the packages you wish to install. Note that the packages are available in two formats:

  4. Download an install any prerequisite packages, runtime, maintenance packs, maintenance supplements, support level supplements as required in the System Requirements and Supported Platforms of this document.

  5. As root, installed the J2SE packages that you have downloaded.

    Change directory into the directory containing the downloaded package datastreams

    cd  <download-dir>

    On UnixWare or Open UNIX 8:

    Install the J2SE 1.3.1 packages in the following order.
    If the package datastreams have been downloaded in compressed format:
    zcat   urwfonts.ds.Z   |   pkgadd -d -
    zcat   j2jre131.ds.Z   |   pkgadd -d -
    zcat   j2sdk131.ds.Z   |   pkgadd -d -
    zcat   j2pls131.ds.Z   |   pkgadd -d -
    zcat   j2plg131.ds.Z   |   pkgadd -d -
    If the package datastreams have been uncompressed when downloaded with your browser:
    pkgadd   -d  `pwd`/urwfonts.ds
    pkgadd   -d  `pwd`/j2jre131.ds
    pkgadd   -d  `pwd`/j2sdk131.ds
    pkgadd   -d  `pwd`/j2pls131.ds
    pkgadd   -d  `pwd`/j2plg131.ds

    On OpenServer, having downloaded the custom format files:

    Make a subdirectory for each custom tar file that you downloaded.
    mkdir JRE Java2 javaplug
    Unwind each tar file into the corresponding subdirectory.
    cd JRE; tar -xf ../JRE.VOLS.tar
    cd ../Java2; tar -xf ../Java2.VOLS.tar
    cd ../javaplug; tar -xf ../javaplug.VOLS.tar

    If you have an earlier version of J2SE 1.3.1 on your system, it is recommended that it be removed prior to installing the latest update. Because of dependencies in the underlying UnixWare packages, remove the J2SE 1.3.1 components in the following order - one component at a time.

    • Java 2 Plug-in - (javaplug)
    • Java 2 Software Development Kit - (JRE)
    • Java 2 Runtime Environment - (Java2)

    Software should be installed in the following order:

    • Java 2 Runtime Environment
    • Java 2 Software Development Kit
    • Java 2 Plug-in
    Run the Software Manager with the command:
    scoadmin software
                or
    custom
    or double-click on the Software Manager icon in the desktop.

    1. Pull down the "Software" menu and select "Install New".
