To check the system
configuration:
Verify that the java.exe file, version 1.4.2 or,
higher is in your command execution PATH by opening a command window and running
the java -version command.The output from
the command looks something like this:java version "1.4.2_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode) The
output you see might be different from what is shown here because the java
-version command outputs vendor-specific information. If the command
produces an error or the version listed is not 1.4 or higher, install a JDK
before continuing.Verify that the
environment variable is set and points to the root directory of the installation. Open
a command window and run the appropriate command for your system. If
you installed in
the /opt/ directory
on UNIX or the c:\ directory
on Windows, the command that you use and the expected output are shown in
the following table:
If you receive an error or do not see the expected
output, ensure that you have set the environment
variable, as described in . You can also use the sysinfo utility to verify
that the environment variables are set correctly. If the environment variables
are set correctly, the sysinfo command displays information
about your Java virtual machine (JVM) and the version of that
you have installed.
