Installing Java 6.0 (JDK 1.6) on a Windows based OS

Hi all newbies,
I have written a tutorial on how to install JDK 6.0 on Windows (yuck!) platforms.
The tutorial is at
http://www.javaclass.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=109
I was hoping people would leave comments and tell me how I can improve on it.
Hail the Java Kingdom !!

Thank you for the prompt replies.
The images were being hosted at a third party server - so maybe, that service (over which I have no control) was down. I resized the images (into gifs, and now they take a quater of the time to download) and placed them on my server - so there should not be any "image problem" anymore. I fixed the title.
As for what is wrong with
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html
Probably nothing but:
- I teach java and I find that my students are more reluctant to dwell into the sun site (with loads of clicks and an overwhelming amount of information all over the place). A one stop complete setup tutorial is lacking.
- I do not think that there is anything wrong with having a number of tutorials describing a particular topic/process. As long as the info contained in them is not conflicting. Some people might understand the SUN site better, others my tutorial.
Thanks for your feedback.

Can't Install Java 2 Runtime Environment on Netscape 6.1 (Windows NT) ....

Dear Colleagues:
I would like to help to solve the captioned problem:
I was prompted to install Java 2 when I visited a webpage,
but the installation/setup went with error and I restart my PC...
I can't open my Netscape 6.1 anymoree as Error Message (whenever I click my Netscape icon):
"Close the Program and let the Installation attempt to Complete..and Restart Windows."
I close my Windows and Restart but it doesn't work.
Please advise.
Many thanks!
O-K.Lai

There might be some connection or transfer error during the J2 installion but it shouldn't require a reboot. I'm a N6.1 user with Win2k Pro. Try reinstall the n6.1 and download the JVM pack at netscape update center.

Problem with installing Java EE with JDK Bundle

Hello everyone
I downloaded the Java EE SDK with JDK update 25 bundle for linux
The file end in .sh. however when I run the executable I get the no jar found message. Do I need to install jdk before I install jee and if I do then why do they provide them bundled if you have to have the jdk first before installing jee.
Another question also, how do I change my handle in this forum? I didn't pick this number!!

Yes, it is a bit stupid. You need the jar command which usually is available if you have a JDK installed but there are other ways of just installing just jar. Also note that some people already have an older JDK installed, thus jar is available and when they install this bundle they get a newer JDK.
Anyway, for changing your handle, you can do that from 'Your Control Panel' and then Edit your profile.

After installing java 1.8 jdk javac still reports 1.6

if I do: /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_31 --exec javac -version Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.8.0_31". javac 1.6.0_65 Notice how --exec javac -version in the previous one-liner does find the javac, but it reports the old 1.6. How do I fix my paths so that javac works?
mbp mac os x yosemite 10.10.1 trying to run some apps on Eclipse luna

Got this issue fixed. Notice that above I had said that Java 1.8 got installed but only as a Plug-In. I did not appear to have installed the complete JDK. I had to remove the Plug-In and reinstall Java 1.8
sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)
Now I need to change my symbolic link for javac:
Before:
javac -version
javac 1.7.0_75
After:
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javac javac
$ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_31
Now everything works

Installing Java SE JDK on top of JRE?

Hi List,
this is my first post here and I just have a somewhat general question about best
software installation practices. I want to install the Java SE JDK on my Windows
x86 system and already have the JRE 7 on it.
Now there are two choices I see myself having:
1. deinstall JRE 7 and install a freshly downloaded JDK 7, which includes the JRE.
or
2. simply install JDK 7 over JRE 7.
Are there any differences? Maybe it doesn't even matter how I do it, but this is
something I don't know?
Thanks

This is basics of the basics of windows usage you're asking about. If you want to be lazy just install, if you want to be safe uninstall and then install. Either way, it all depends on how you've treated your software installation what the end result is going to be. If you have a clean system either way will work just fine.

Installing JAVA JDK

Hi this is my first time to install java jdk 1.6.0.. I have a question, what is the effect if I already installed the JAVA JDK without installing the recommended patches for this software?

That's true r_h_oro2003 as earlier replied by Pgmitadmin, There is no probllem if you have already installed the JAVA JDK without installing the recommended patches for this software, I have tried this.

Java 8 JSE+JDK : Install 32 or 64 bit?

Hi. A "noddy" installation question...
With Java 7 it was advised to install Java 32 bit even on a Windows 7 64 bit machine to give 32 bit web browser compatibility.
Is this still the case for Java 8 JSE and JDK (and Netbeans)? Or have they fixed the browser incompatibilities so that a JSE 64 bit install works ok?
The Oracle Java 8 installation instructions are unclear on this. They talk only of installing JSE 64 bit on 64 bit Windows and the old 32 bit .v. 64 bit advisory only covers Java 6 and 7 (perhaps because its not been updated for 8) - but it does advise using JSE 32 bit for 32 bit browsers on a Windows 64 bit machine.
Many thanks.

Unfortunately my "Answer" (to use the version that suits the browser) is contradicted by a Warning when I tried to install the 32 bit JDK+Netbeans Cobundle
JDK and Netbeans are NOT your browser. Install whatever you want for Netbeans and general JDK use.
The JRE used with the browser should, as the advice told you, match the browser (32/64 bit) you are using.
Use the Java Control Panel to configure the JRE installations that you want the browser to work with.
The runtime versions you configure AND enable in that panel determine what Java versions are 'active' as far as windows is concerned.
Go to Control Panel -> Java to open the Java Control Panel.
Then select the Java tab and 'view' to see the JREs that are configured.

Request to provide me the link to install java (jdk&jre) vista32 bit

Hi All,
Request to provide me the link where I can find software to install jdk and jre for my windows vista-32 bit machine.
Appreciate your help.

Paying $5 USD For Someone to Properly Install Java JRE & JDK in CentOS 5

Payment will be sent through paypal only!

Did you get a solution to your memory usage problems.
We developed an applet which uses JAI 1.1.. yes of course with JRE1.3.1 plugin. The applet functions as a viewer for TIFF images and also allows users to manipulate them. We have ensured that there are no static variables and scope defined for variables is the minimum required. But we are still facing an undefined memory issue.
When print is executed on the image (using Java2D), a few times ... it just hogs memory. Or I change the image loaded 2 -3 times and refresh the applet, it seems to run out of memory, and finally hangs.
We have tried to do a System.gc.. to no avail.
Would appreciate help on this.
Thanx

Uninstalled Java 6, installed Java 7, keep getting requests to install Java SE 6 plugin. Why?

Because of the security issues with Java, I uninstalled Java 6 (using various terminal commands) and installed Java 7 from Oracle's website. Looking at /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, I can see that JavaAppletPlugin.plugin is there, and Get Info tells me that it is part of Java 7 Update 09.
However, when I use Safari to try out a Java test page, or use one of the Java-based programs that I need to run for work, I get a message that says, "To open “PluginProcess,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?" (PluginProcess is replaced by the program name if I am running a Java program.) If I click "Install", the Apple version of Java 6 gets installed.
This doesn't make sense to me. Why would Java 7 need the Apple Java 6 environment? And why doesn't Safari or other Java based programs recognize that the Java 7 JavaAppletPlugin.plugin is on my computer already?
Although I'm not really an IT person, I am pretty handy with the Terminal and command line operations, so if fixing this means using the command line, I'm good with that.
Thanks!

I think I've found a solution to the problem that Java Applications doesn't use Java 7. This seems to work for me. Try it and please confirm if it works for you.
1.
Install Java SE Development Kit 7u9 from Oracle
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u9-downloads-1859576 .html
2.
Execute something that triggers the prompt to install Java SE 6. for example i web site using java applet. And follow through with the installation. (after this you will have three java versions: Java6 32-bit, Java6 64-bit, Java7 64-bit)
3.
Open a new terminal window and execute the following commands.
$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
$ sudo rm CurrentJDK
Password: ********
$ sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/Contents/ CurrentJDK
$ sudo ln -s CurrentJDK 1.7
$ sudo ln -s CurrentJDK 1.7.0
Note: I don't know if the last two lines are necessary, but I just tried to follow the existing pattern.

Installing Java Dialog Instance - Error while connecting to DB

We would like to add a dialog instance to our production Portal server. We installed Portal as stand-alone on the central instance. We have another server we would like to setup to serve as a Portal dialog instance.
So far I have installed Windows 2003 Server Standard. Installed MSSQL server client tools (database is mssql server). Installed jdk 1.4.62. Set java home and path environmental variables. I'm now installing the Java dialog instance (I can't find any documentation on this). From Netweaver installation CD> SAP NetWeaver '04 Support Release 1> Java System> MS SQL Server> Dialog Instance Installation>
SAP System ID: (sid) ES2
Central Host: SAPEPS02
Path to JAVA DVD supplied> JDK Directory confirmed> Domain paramaters confirmed> domain<sid> account passwords supplied> domain<service><sid> account password supplied> Instance number confirmed>
Installation started> It gets to step 8 and fails stating "Error while connecting to DB". I looked through all the log files and couldn't come up with anything (i'm very thorough).
I tried adding the users to the database as dbowners (no luck). I installed SQL server 2000 with SP4. No where during this installation did I get prompted for database parameters?
Is there something basic i'm missing? Does this scenario not work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of the correct documentation would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Brad Dridi

Hi Brad,
I am facing the same problem. I hope by now you must have got the solution for this.
Can you please let me know how did you overcome this situation?
Thank you!!

IMac: Install Java 7 need help!

Hello, I've an iMac with the newest software version, I want to install java 7 on it for a game server, but when I download it from java.com and I install it and start the server, it still says: Computer on java 6, update to 7 to run server. I already tryed to install with Terminal and direct acess to System Library, it shows that java 7 is installed, but I have to delete java 6. When I delete all java versions, apple says I have to install java SE6, what isn't java 7 but java 6! Help please!!!

The Oracle JRE is only a web plugin. If you need server-side Java, you'll have to use the Apple-supplied Java 6 runtime, or else the Oracle JDK (which is not a drop-in replacement for Apple's Java.) If your server application depends on Java 7, you'll most likely have to run it on another operating system.

Can I install Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 with NetBeans bundle on a Laptop?

I'm new to programming and I'm getting an Alienware notebook with WindowsXP in a few months. I just want to be sure I can install and use Java on it.
Any recommendations for literature on programming for beginners would be great too. Something easy to get into and learn from progressively, I have no programming experience.
I will be tinkering and learning Java for the next few months hopefully, and reading text, and then I'm getting the notebook and I'm wondering if I will be able to use the bundle on it or if I need more downloads or anything. So any info on that would be great along with some good text purchases.
Thanks.

The Alienware should have no problems, everything I've heard about them has been good.
I recommend that you install just Java, without Netbeans, then go to the Netbeans site - www.netbeans.org - and install the Netbeans found there. This way the 2 products are separate, and each can be independently updated - a problem if you install the bundle. Also, you can get the latest version of each.
Select the J2SE 5.0 Java Development Kit (JDK). The current version is JDK 5.0 Update 1. This could go to Update 2 in a few months. Download the offline installer (large bundle), it's less likely to create problems than the online installer.
I also recommend you download and install the documentation bundle (J2SE 5.0 Documentation, another large one) as Netbeans will need it.
I recommend Netbeans 4.0, it works well with java 5. You should avoid 4.1, as it's still not stable.
These items will allow you to create Java programs for all but the very largest corporate systems. There are specialized libraries that you can add later, as the need arises.
Be sure to read all of the installation instructions before you start (one for Java, one for the docs, and one for NB.) They'll help you avoid a lot of the beginner problems.
Sun has a very good tutorial - The Java Tutorial - that starts you at the very beginning and explains it all. There are a bunch of more specialized tutorials also, when you're ready for them. Go to java.sun.com and click Tutorials and Code Camps from the left-hand column.
You can start the Java Tutorial right now, as the first part of it (after the introductory Your First Cup of Java) is learning the basics of the language, object orientation, and inheritance. This is covered by the topics Getting Started and Learning the Java Language.
Hope you have fun!

Installing Java 8 SE on Debian - Linux

What is the recommended way to install Java 8 SE on Debian (32-bit or 64-bit):
1) As explained on this page JDK Installation for Linux Platforms
Installation of the 32-bit JDK on Linux Platforms
This procedure installs the Java Development Kit (JDK) for 32-bit Linux, using an archive binary file (.tar.gz).
These instructions use the following file:
jdk-8uversion-linux-i586.tar.gz
Download the file.Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. The archive binary can be installed by anyone (not only root users), in any location that you can write to. However, only the root user can install the JDK into the system location.
Change directory to the location where you would like the JDK to be installed, then move the .tar.gz archive binary to the current directory.
Unpack the tarball and install the JDK.% tar zxvf jdk-8uversion-linux-i586.tar.gz
The Java Development Kit files are installed in a directory called jdk1.8.0_version in the current directory.
Delete the .tar.gz file if you want to save disk space.
or
2) su -
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886 apt-get update
apt-get
install oracle-java8-installer
exit
Thanks.

The recommended way to install Java 8 on Debian is apt-get install openjdk-8-jre, but you'll have to wait until that package actually exists, which is not the case yet. Neither of the above ways you mention are recommended on Debian, but both should be working.
