Step 1: If Java(TM) 2 is not yet
installed, please download the Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition,
v1.4.1_02 or newer at the WEB site of Sun and install
it, according to the supplied instructions. Please take
notice:
Opera "5.x and newer" browsers "without Java" supply
Java(TM) 2 support,
automatically, if there is a separately installed
current Java(TM) 2
Runtime. Opera "5.x and newer" browsers "with Java"
however are shipped with an outdated
Java(TM) 2 Runtime.
NC "6.x and newer" browsers supply
Java(TM) 2 support,
automatically, if not the shipped outdated
Java(TM) 2 Runtime, but a
current Java(TM) 2 Runtime is
installed, after the installation of the browser.
Borland JBuilder 8 is installing its "own"
Java(TM) 2, 1.3.1 SDK in its
own installation path, automatically, and changes the
Windows registry so that it points to it, by
default.
W2K, SP2 is distributed with a
Java(TM) 2, 1.3.0 Runtime
Version, installed in the system32 directory (
"c:\winnt\system32\" ).
So please especially check which version is
executed when you are going to start
Java(TM) 2 applications !
Step 2:
If you don't want to use a browser, the
full path of the Java(TM) 2
runtime installation subdirectory ".\bin" must be added
to the "path". The "path" is a list of directories that
shells ( e.g. "command.com", "xterm" ) will search for
executable files that aren't in the current directory.
With W2K, please take notice that the entry is placed in
front of the entry of the system32 directory (
"c:\winnt\system32" ).

"java -version", the output is expected to be
