How to determine the Java version in Windows XP

In Windows 2000, I can determine the version of Java that's running by typing 'java -version' in a command prompt. However, when I type this in a command prompt in Windows XP, a message says 'java is not recognized as an internal or external command ...'.
Is there some other means of determining the version of Java that's running on Windows XP?
Thank you.

I found the directory with java.exe on my XP client. After updating my Path and then typing 'java -versions' I still see a 'java not found message'. No problem though - a README.TXT says that I have JRE 1.1.7B.
One final question - a co-worker who also has XP just starting seeing a pop-up window saying 'Runtime' error when running a Java applet. His java.exe is in a path that includes the sub-directory 'JRE' On my XP client, java.exe is in a path which includes a 'JRE11' sub-directory. We therefore seem to have different versions of the JRE. Since I don't see the Runtime error when running the same applet, should my co-worker try upgrading his JRE?
Thank you.

  • How to determine the JDK version required to use a jar?

    Hi all.
    I am using a hosted server that uses JDK 1.4.2 and I cannot upgrade the VM. I have been finding it extremely difficult to install web applications on this server since I find that after installing the app, the web server complains the bytecode used in the jar is newer than the VM can understand (or it complains that the app uses JEE servlet or JSP methods it cannot find).
    To compound the problem, only about 25% of the sites I've visited that provide jars for download mention the minumum JDK version required to use them. (Some do not mention any system requirements at all besides 'requires Java and a Java application server').
    Do any of you know of any tools that can analyze a jar and determine the bytecode version it uses?
    (Another helpful tool would be one that can determine the minimum JEE APIs required to run a web app..., but that's probably wishful thinking :)).
    Thanks for your help.

    The major/minor version of the class file is the way to go.
    Also, it's not necessary to write a separate program to get to those. javap prints them out when being passed the -v flag.
    Note, however that "JDK version" is not a correct term, as I can create 1.4-compatible class files with a Java 6 JDK (by passing the -target flag to javac). Those won't look any different than .class files written with a 1.4 JDK.

  • How to determine the oc4j version?

    Dear All,
    I would like to clarify which version of the OC4J server ( actually which version of the j2ee & servlet API) we have available. Where can I quickly see this info?
    The best thing I have found is http://oursecurehost/7780/relnotes.htm I see we have "Oracle9i Application Server Release Notes" ... but I believe this to be incorrect....
    Many thanks in advance

  • How to determine the java memory cosumption

    Hi.
    In our system Netweaver7.1, (on windows)
    I want to know java heap memory consumption.
    We can see the memory consumption from windows task manager, but the AS JAVA caught the memory heap memory size during startup.
    So itisn't correct.
    In NWA, many paerformance monitors are, but I don't know which tool is useful.
    I want to sizing the memory size with following logic.
    8:00~9:00 50% load
    The java memory is conusmed 3GB.
    11:00~12:00 100% load
    The java memorry will "may" be consumed 6GB.

  • Can I get the Java version of mobile tv with the r...

    I would like to know how to get the Java version of mobile tv with the removed mobile tv application, so I can view the Sky EPG programme guide on my E90.
    Can anyone tell me how I can get it please. The version from sky will not work but reading other posts on here suggests that the java version might.
    Please help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sky have made it near impossible to get this application on current phones.
    Luckily for you the java version is available for download as part of this useful guide.
    The instructions are for the N95 but should work on an E90. I've got it working on an N82 and N96 at the moment.
    Just a note about the java app: It says it's for a sony but it works perfectly on a nokia. Not sure how it will look on the E90's big screen so if it doesn't work try the front screen.

  • How to determine the maximum allowable length of a filename for Window ?

    Hi all,
    Could I know how to determine the allowable file length (the length of the absolute path) for a file in Window environment?
    Due to some reason, I generated a zip file with a very long filename ( > 170) and put in a folder(the length of the folder path around 90). The length of the absolute path is around 260.
    I used FileOutputStream with the ZipOutputStream to write out the zip file. Everything is working fine while i generating the zip file.
    However, while i try to extract some files from the zip file i just created, i encountered the error
    java.util.zip.ZipException The filename is too long.
    I am using the class ZipFile to extract the files from the zip file like the following
    String absPath = "A very long filepath which exceed 260";
    ZipFile zipF = new ZipFile(absPath);  //<-- here is the root causeIs it possible to pre-determine the maximum allowable filepath length prior i generate the zip file ? This is weird since i got no error while i created the zip file, but have problem in extracting the zip file ......
    Thanks

    Assuming you could determine the max, what would you do about it? I'd say you should just assume it will be successful, but accommodate (handle) the possible exception gracefully. Either way you're going to have to handle it as an "exception", whether you "catch" an actual "Exception" object and deal with that, or manually deal with the length exceeding the max.

  • How do I determine the executable version number?

    Hi.
    I have a VI and a build specification for it.  In the Version Information section of the build specification, I set the version number to auto-increment.  I would like to display this version number on an indicator on the front panel of the executable, but I have not found a property that provides this information. Does anybody know how to get the executable version number? I am aware that it is possible to right-click on the .exe file in windows explorer, go to properties and get it that way, but I would like to display it on the VI itself.
    On a related topic, I have noticed that only the 'build' field of the version gets auto-incremented. How does the application builder decide when it is time to increment the major, minor and fix fields?  Or will it only ever auto-increment the build field and I am supposed to update the other fields manually? (That would actually make sense, but I would like confirmation.)
    Thanks in advance,
    Alejandro

    The bundle patches are found by build number. If you go to metalink and check the bundle patches, there is a build number associated with them, usually also contained in the xellerate/config/Version.props file. This is written to the XSD table during patching. Once installed, there is no identifier that says "BPXXX applied".
