Download Java WorkShop: Solaris 2.4/2.5
Release 1.0
Some important notes before you begin:
- In order to use the WorkShop, you must be running
Solaris 2.4 or 2.5 and have the Motif 1.2.3 libraries
installed. You must set the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH set
to point to the Motif library.

this release, click here.
There are two ways you can install Java WorkShop on your Solaris
system:
- Download the files, uncompress the files, use the
tar utility to extract the files to a
directory of your choosing. This method is recommended for
end users.
- Download the files, uncompress them, use the
tar utility to extract the files, and then (as
the user root ), use the pkgadd
utility to install the files as a package in the
/opt/SUNWjws directory. This method is
recommended for system administrators with root
access.
The next section describes the process that does not use
pkgadd . To skip to the instructions that use
pkgadd to install the software after it is
downloaded, click here.
Download, then Install Using tar
- Make the directory in which you want to install the
software your current directory. Be sure your system has
enough free disk space to accommodate the compressed,
uncompressed, and "untarred" files.
- Click on the following link to download the software to your system:
Java
WorkShop for Solaris
- 7 Mbytes compressed
- 17 Mbytes uncompressed
Java
WorkShop for Solaris (Intel Platform
Edition)
- 7 Mbytes compressed
- 16 Mbytes uncompressed
- After the software has been downloaded, use the
uncompress command to decompress it:
% uncompress jw-<platform>-S2.tar.Z
<platform> is used throughout the rest of
these instructions
to represent the Solaris platform you are using: "sparc"
or "intel".
If you download the WorkShop using the Mosaic browser, the
browser may have already uncompressed the file for you.
- Use the
tar command to extract the
software into the current directory:
% tar -xvf jw-<platform>-S2.tar
After the extraction is complete, you should find two
directory hierarchies in the current directory:
% ls
JWS/ JDK/ jw-<platform>-S2.tar
- To conserve disk space, you can delete or archive the
original
tar file elsewhere.
- You can verify that the installation was successful by
running the following program:
% <install_dir_path>/JWS/<platform>-S2/bin/IVP
- Set your PATH variable to include both:
install_dir_path/JDK/bin
install_dir_path/JWS/<platform>-S2/bin
To start the WorkShop, type:
% jws &
