Introduction
Thank you for downloading this release of the Java(TM) Development
Kit, version 1.2. The Java Development Kit (JDK(TM)) is the
development environment for building applications, applets, and
components that can be deployed on the Java platform. This README
file covers both the JDK Production Release for Windows and the
JDK Reference Implementation for Solaris. A Japanese version of
this README is on the Java Software website at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/ja/README.
JDK software includes tools useful for developing and testing
programs written in the Java programming language and running on
the Java 1.2 platform. These tools are designed to be used from
the command line. Except for appletviewer, these tools do not
provide a graphical user interface.
On Windows, a separate Java Runtime Environment including
Java Plug-in is also installed with the JDK. On Solaris, you
can obtain this separately. For more information,
see Java Runtime Environment including Java Plug-in.
Features
Version 1.2 of the Java Development Kit offers significant
improvements in functionality, performance, security and global
support. See:
* Summary of New Features - Features added since JDK 1.1.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/relnotes/features.html
* Guide to Features - Complete list of all features.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/index.html#guide
JDK Documentation
The JDK Documentation contains release documentation, Java
API specifications, developer guides, tool documentation, demos,
and links to related documentation. It is available in a separate
download bundle.
If you have not already downloaded your own local copy of the JDK
Docs, you can do so from the JDK 1.2 download page.
System Requirements
The JDK 1.2 software is available on three platforms:
* Win32 Release for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT on
Intel hardware. For Windows NT, only version 4.0 is
supported. A 486/DX or faster processor and at least 48
megabytes of RAM are recommended.
* Solaris/SPARC Release. Only Solaris versions 2.5.1, 2.6
and 7 (also known as 2.7) are supported. At least
48 megabytes of RAM is recommended. Solaris patches
may need to be installed (see installation instructions).
* Solaris/Intel Release. Only Solaris versions 2.5.1, 2.6
and 7 (also known as 2.7) are supported. A 486/DX or
faster processor and at least 48 megabytes of RAM are
recommended. Solaris patches may need to be installed
(see installation instructions).
On Solaris, Sun releases both a Reference Implementation and
Production Release. See:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/faq.html#prod|ref
On all systems you should have 65 megabytes of free disk space
before attempting to install the JDK software. If you also install
the separate documentation download bundle, you need an additional
85 megabytes of free disk space.
JDK 1.2 is localized for Japanese. For more information, see
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/japan-notes.html
Installation
The complete JDK is composed of the JDK Software plus the JDK
Documentation, each of which is separately downloadable.
Installation instructions for each release are maintained on the
Java Software web site:
* For the Win32 Installation Instructions, go to
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/install-windows.html
* For the Solaris Installation Instructions, go to

Introduction
Thank you for downloading this release of the Java(TM) Development
Kit, version 1.2. The Java Development Kit (JDK(TM)) is the
development environment for building applications, applets, and
components that can be deployed on the Java platform. This README
file covers both the JDK Production Release for Windows and the
JDK Reference Implementation for Solaris. A Japanese version of
this README is on the Java Software website at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/ja/README.
JDK software includes tools useful for developing and testing
programs written in the Java programming language and running on
the Java 1.2 platform. These tools are designed to be used from
the command line. Except for appletviewer, these tools do not
provide a graphical user interface.
On Windows, a separate Java Runtime Environment including
Java Plug-in is also installed with the JDK. On Solaris, you
can obtain this separately. For more information,
see Java Runtime Environment including Java Plug-in.
Features
Version 1.2 of the Java Development Kit offers significant
improvements in functionality, performance, security and global
support. See:
* Summary of New Features - Features added since JDK 1.1.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/relnotes/features.html
* Guide to Features - Complete list of all features.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/index.html#guide
JDK Documentation
The JDK Documentation contains release documentation, Java
API specifications, developer guides, tool documentation, demos,
and links to related documentation. It is available in a separate
download bundle.
If you have not already downloaded your own local copy of the JDK
Docs, you can do so from the JDK 1.2 download page.
System Requirements
The JDK 1.2 software is available on three platforms:
* Win32 Release for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT on
Intel hardware. For Windows NT, only version 4.0 is
supported. A 486/DX or faster processor and at least 48
megabytes of RAM are recommended.
* Solaris/SPARC Release. Only Solaris versions 2.5.1, 2.6
and 7 (also known as 2.7) are supported. At least
48 megabytes of RAM is recommended. Solaris patches
may need to be installed (see installation instructions).
* Solaris/Intel Release. Only Solaris versions 2.5.1, 2.6
