Downloading and installing Java

I recently got a new computer with Win XP Pro with SP 2, and I tried to run my old jdk 1.2.1 apps (like appletviewer and javac), but none of them work. For example, if I run "appletviewer drawTest.html" from my command line like I've always done it, I get an error msg saying that "appletviewer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" with the option to send an error report to Microsoft about the problem. I am assuming that my old jdk 1.2.1 does not work with Win XP like it did with my old Win2kPro, and that I need to d/l and install a new version of the Java Development Kit. The problem is, I've been "out of the loop" so long that when I go to the Sun site, I don't know which file to d/l. Would it be the JDK 6u1 or what? I'm sorry if I sound really dumb. I'm still a n00b, and your help will be greatly appreciated.

You should be fine downloading version 6 of the JDK. Since there have tremendous changes and deprecations since 1.2, you should get a more valid warnings when you run your applet but not his kind of error.

    hi all,
    i am just entering into the world of java.
    i need some help in downloading and installing java.
    i found a lot of downloads like j2sdk and jdk6update7 and some more.
    i downloaded both and installed one and tried to run a sample program.
    in jdk i couldnt find javac compiler
    in j2sdk i could not connect the path variable
    i am really confused to start things - can anyone help me for a kick off start in java (in win xp)
    cheers
    mike

    Hi,
    From your message, i think u didnt set the classpath dats y the javac din work
    Go to your jdk directory\bin file
    Eg. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    Next set the environment variable
    My Computer -->Properties -->Advanced-->Environment Variables
    Look for path and add the jdk directory\bin into it and u can start using javac to compile.

  • Can you establish a Java enviroment w/o downloading and installing JAVA?

    Hello,
    I am a fifteen-year-old, JAVA compatible teenager in Northern VA. I am trying to find a simple and easy way to run a JAVA application (using the ".class" files, of course) on a windows platform, hopefully without have to go through a complex install procedure. Is there some way to do this? Is this what the JRE is for? The Java plug-in? Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
    -Stephen Mouring Jr.

    Basically, the JRE is as easy to install as any other application. You just double click it, run though the wizard, and bingo.
    The easiest way to distribute the JRE is to burn it onto CDs, and give them away with your app. Then users won't even have to download it. You could call it a driver ;-)
    Installing the Java applications can be a bit harder. The easiest way to do it is with Java WebStart (included with the JRE), but IMO this isn't really reliable yet.
    Distribute your apps in a JAR file, and make a self extracting exe that can copy the JAR to the Program Files directory, and copy a shortcut to it onto the desktop. That is, at least theoretically the easiest way.
    The hard part is not installing the JRE. The hard part is making your app invoke the JRE. Basically, to make your app have an icon on the desktop and everything automatically, you'll need some kind of installer. How you go about this really depends on what kind of user base you want to distribute apps to.
    Hope this helps.--

  • Just downloaded and Installed, can't find javac.exe

    I think the subject pretty much says it. I've downloaded and installed java. Trying to follow the tutorial, but I cant find a "javac.exe" file on my computer?
    What did i do wrong?

    Dont be impressed of the download-time. Forte is very nice, but you need much RAM and a good processor. I use 300Mhz and 128Ram, in this case it was definately to slow. now I use JCreator 2.0... it�s free and has not such nice functions like Forte, but it opens in 3 seconds, while Forte always needed about 1 min !

  • After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Downloading and installing Swing 1.1 or 1.2

    We have a RS6000 box w/AIX 5.1. We just upgraded to Java 1.3.1, but Swing must not be part of the default install. I need to download and install Swing 1.1, or 1.2 because we have an application that requires it. Can someone tell me where to download Swing and where I can find some Swing install instructions for AIX 5.1? thanks for any help
    Paul

    Java 1.2 and higher all have Swing, as far as I know. Although, with AIX, who knows. You'd have to go to IBM's AIX site and find out, most likely.

  • How to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2

    Where i find all the step to
    how to download and install webutil in FORMS 10G 10.1.2.0.2
    i DON'T FIND NOTHING OF VERY GOOD TO FOLLOW !!!

    hi
    u do not need to install any webutil in R2 u just need to configure few things.
    please read the following notes and try to configure.
    How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
    Solution
    Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
    here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
    Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
    Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
    [OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
    copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
    1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
      and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
    2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
      [JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
         cd [JacobStage]
         copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
         copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
      The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
    3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
      Open a DOS command prompt.
      Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
         set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
      Sign the files, and check the output for success:
         [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
         [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
    4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
      you may skip this step. Otherwise,
      Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
      connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
      for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
      Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
      out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
      errors.
      Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
         CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
         DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
         TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
         GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
         CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
         @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
         -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
         CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
      Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
         grant execute on webutil_db to public;
    5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
      to the CLASSPATH entry.
    6) Start the OC4J instance
    7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
      Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
      It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
      Note 303682.1
      If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
      full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
    8) Create a new FMB.
      Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
      There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
      Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
      Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
             NULL;
      to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
      Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
             show_webutil_information (TRUE);
      in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
      Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
    9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
      the "Application Server URL" is empty.
      Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
          http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
    10) Run your form.

  • Yosemite requires an update to JRE 8.0. I downloaded and installed but it still gives a message to download an install.

    After updating to Yosemite I keep getting prompts to update the Java Run Time Environment to version 8. After downloading and installing the update I am still getting the message as if the JRE is not there. Also, I cannot find it in the Applications Folder.
    Help.

    You might try installing the JRE7 version.  JRE8 is the latest version but there seem to be problems.  See the thread at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6618044
    The JRE7 install is a manual one (see link in that thread).

    I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again."  I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working!  If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this.  Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS.  I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything. 

    Immargarita,  Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store.  They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store.  I was not going home until it worked.
    Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started.   So... I qualified for tech support.  I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed.  Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work.  I have the good old PS disc.  I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
    When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support.  Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store.   BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
    The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor.  The download stopped once.  Then he continued it and everything is there now.
    Shame on you Apple.
    Hope this helps.

  • 10.1 not downloading and installing?

    I had the previous version - 10.0.?  I received notification of update to 10.1.  So I updated the uninstaller, then ran the uninstaller, rebooted my computer, then tried to download and install the new version which should only take 2 minutes.  Instead, it takes 2 hours and then when it finally gets to 100% I get the message that "the file did not pass the integrity check".  I have tried half a dozen times without success and have checked my IE settings, which are as recommended.  Very frustrating. I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit and IE8.  I would really appreciate help with this as I'm not very good techie-wise.

    Hello Eidnolb, thanks for trying to help. Apologies for delay, I've just got home from work.
    Security setting is set to Medium for Internet Zone.
    I followed the instructions in the Adobe Uninstall guide.
    I only use IE8.
    I have McAfee Security Centre which includes Anti-Virus, Personal Firewall, Site Advisor etc (but I have always had McAfee and have not had this problem when updating Flash Player before).
    I've forgotten what was in the other thread about checking Flash Player files but I'll check that in a minute and submit a second post.
    IT, Tools, Manage Add-ons:  I have Adobe PDF helper, some Google, McAfee and Microsoft stuff which is probably of no interest, and Java Plug-in 2 SSV helper.  Shockwave Flash Object is not listed.
    Hello Pat. I did not have any browser open when running the installer, except the Adobe webpage that I was trying to download from. I'm not sure how I could close that and download it at the same time?!  But I have not yet tried the link ... distribution3.html.  Should I try this, or wait until you have looked at my reply above.
    Thanks to both of you.

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
