Installing JAVA on HP-UX 11

[mvr]

It looks to me that I will be entering a whole new world in UNIX. I need to install JAVA on my machine (in order to install IDS/9000). I do not know anything about it. Any help with tips and "how to" would be appreciate.
I need to know what version should I install.

Thank you in advance,

Miro

Miro,

You can find all the versions of Java for HP here : http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/
In my case, I was able to install and run IDS/9000 with Java 2 SDK and RTE version 1.3. You can download the Java version as well on that site.

Miro,

I think somebody already gave you a URL, but just in case:
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/sdkrte14/index.html

That's the latest, greatest version available from HP. I'd go with that. Installation is straightforward - just swinstall. And I really think that's all there is to it, though I haven't tried it with IDS.

Good luck,

Pete

Hi Miro:

What version of OS are you running.

I installed HPUX 11i and it came with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.2.2. Since then I've installed IBM WebSphere software and it upgraded my JRE to 1.3.1.01.

Thank you all for your help an fast responed.

Hi Miro:

HPUX 11i comes bundled with Java, Apache, Netscape, and other applications needed to setup a webserver. You may want to look into upgrading to this version depending on other applications running your box, what you need to do.

BEFORE installing java.

Install the required and recommended patches.

I must have missed the Java install option on 11i(11.11) because I had to do it after installation.
