Thank you for downloading the JavaTM 2 Runtime Environment,
Standard Edition (also known as the Java 2 Runtime or JRE) v 1.3.1-1 for Linux®
Alpha. The JRE is the minimum standard
Java Platform for running Java programs. It contains the Virtual Machine for
Java 2, Java core classes, and supporting files. The JRE does not contain
any of the development tools (such as appletviewer
or javac
)
or classes that pertain only to a development environment.
This Readme provides installation instructions for the JRE and information that may be useful for developers who want to redistribute the JRE with their software.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure you understand the Copyright (copyright.txt, installed file) and License (license.txt, installed file) information before using this release.
Please refer to the Hardware and Software Requirements of the Java 2 SDK version 1.3.1-1 Release Notes for Linux Alpha.
To install, perform the following steps as superuser:
jre-1.3.1-1-linux-alpha.tgz
tar xzvf jre-1.3.1-1-linux-alpha.tgz
The scratch directory now contains the kit jre-1.3.1-1-linux-alpha.rpm
.
Install libots, libcpml,
and Motif, if they are not already
installed on your system. (See Software
Requirements.)
After installing libots
, cpml
, and Motif, you
can then install the Java JRE v 1.3.1-1 package on your Linux Alpha system. When you install the Java
JRE RPM package, all files are
installed in directories under the directory /usr/java/jre1.3.1.
Run the following rpm command, as superuser, to install the package:
rpm -i jre-1.3.1-1-linux-alpha.rpm
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java -version
" should display
the following version information:
% /usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java -version java version "1.3.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Classic VM (build 1.3.1-1, native threads, jit)
In this release, a single Java application launcher, the java
command-line tool,
is used both for development (the JavaTM 2 SDK) and deployment (the Java 2 Runtime Environment).
The old deployment launcher, jre
is
no longer provided.
If you redistribute the JRE, you must follow the terms of the JRE Binary Code License agreement, which includes these terms:
lib/i18n.jar
Character conversion classes and all other locale support
lib/ext/
Directory containing extension jar files
lib/audio/soundbank.gm

lib/fonts/
Directory containing .ttf font files
bin/rmid
Java RMI Activation System Daemon
bin/rmiregistry
Java Remote Object Registry
bin/tnameserv
Java IDL Name Server
bin/keytool
Key and Certificate Management Tool
bin/policytool

When bundling the JRE with application software on Linux Alpha, consider the following points:
<runtime-dir>
). Include
all the required files from /usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin
and /usr/java/jre1.3.1/lib
in the bin
and lib
subdirectories of <runtime-dir>
,
following the same directory hierarchy and relative placement of files. The
internationalization files installed by the optional subset can be included
for language localization support. <runtime-dir>
. Application-specific classes can be
individual .class
files, .jar
files, or .zip
files.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. The best way to do this is to install the
native libraries in <app-dir>/lib/<sys>
. LD_LIBRARY_PATH
should then be set to include these directories.
java
command-line tool with the -cp
option to specify the
application's class path. In the standard installation, for example, the command might
look like this:
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java -cp <app-dir>/lib/app.jar <classname>
