How to call Java class from Forms 6i?

Question

Hi friends,
I need to call a Java class from my Forms 6i application.
(It runs under WIndows XP. It's a client/server application and I have only the client and the Form builder installed on my PC)
I don't know almost anything about Java's world so your help would be very useful for me.
Could you tell me exactly what i have to do?
I've read in metalink several Notes, but they supposed that the Java architecture is already installed in the computer.... I only have the default installation of Developer 6i... so I would need to know:
- How to install/configure the neccesary to execute Java classes without problem
- How to invoke the .class from Forms 6i.
Thanks a lot
Jose.

And also this one:
Problem Description
Installed Forms 6i Rel 2 on a MS Windows machine. When trying to Import the Java
Classes getting the errors
PDE-UJI0001 Failed to create the JVM
Solution Description
You need to to install JDK 1.2.2 to run the Java Importer. And set the PATH's
and classpath's correctly.
Explanation
1. Download and install the JDK 1.2.2.
Possibly available at: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/
2. Assuming the JDK 1.2.2 is installed in c:\jdk1.2.2 directory and the JRE in
C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.2 directory; ORACLE_HOME=C:\Dev6iR2.
Set the PATH to
set PATH=c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.2\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.2\bin\classic;%PATH%
( If you are using ias9i then the JDK 1.2.2 comes with the ias installtion ,
in this case please set the PATH to
D:\ias9i\Apache\jdk\bin;D:\ias9i\Apache\jdk\jre\bin;D:\ias9i\Apache\jdk\jre\bin\classic;%PATH% )
3. Set the CLASSPATH to set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Dev6iR2\TOOLS\COMMON60\JAVA\IMPORTER.JAR;.
(If you do not set the CLASSPATH correctly you will get the error
PDE-UJI002 Unable to find the required java importer classes)
4. Now run the Forms Builder by using the command.
C:\Dev6iR2\bin\ifbld60.exe
Now the Java Importer Should Run fine.
