Java support
Development Kit (JDK), which
includes a Java runtime environment. To run Java
applications, enter:
/usr/java/bin/jre java_application
The jre command invokes the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute Java bytecode. The same JVM is invoked by the java command, which includes additional development options.
To run Java applets without having to run Netscape or other
Internet browsers, enter:
/usr/java/bin/appletviewer java_applet.html
See the jre(1), java(1), and appletviewer(1) manual pages for more information about Java runtime commands.
JDK Release 1.1.7 provides the following improvements over JDK 1.1.3u:
-
parity with the latest Sun JDK baseline
-
native threads support, which greatly enhances legacy code
connectivity as well as performance on multiprocessor
machines
- miscellaneous bug fixes
For more information, see the JDK Release Notes (jdknotes.htm) in the /info/java_dk directory of your distribution media and the Java Technologies home page.
NOTE: Because of licensing changes, the just-in-time (JIT) compiler previously provided with Java Workshop and Java Studio is no longer available.
