| 4 | <para>The <application>J2SDK</application> package contains Sun's
|
|---|
| 5 | <application>Java</application> development environment. This is useful for
|
|---|
| 6 | developing <application>Java</application> programs and provides the runtime
|
|---|
| 7 | environment necessary to run <application>Java</application> programs. It also
|
|---|
| 8 | includes a plug-in for browsers so that they can be <application>Java
|
|---|
| 9 | </application> aware.</para>

| 12 | The <acronym>JDK</acronym> comes in two flavors, a precompiled binary and a
|
|---|
| 13 | source package. The precompiled binary is linked against <acronym>GCC
|
|---|
| 14 | </acronym>-2 libraries. Due to the incompatibilities between
|
|---|
| 15 | <acronym>GCC</acronym>-2 and <acronym>GCC</acronym>-3, the precompiled java
|
|---|
| 16 | plugin causes problems when <acronym>GCC</acronym>-3 compiled packages (for
|
|---|
| 17 | example <application>Mozilla</application>) try to load the <application>Java
|
|---|
| 18 | </application> plugin. The source package requires registration at the Sun
|
|---|
| 19 | developer site and accepting the Sun Community Source License.
|
|---|
| 20 | The source code cannot be downloaded from some countries, so for users
|
|---|
| 21 | from those countries, the binary may be the only option.</para>
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <para>Even if you plan on compiling the <acronym>JDK</acronym> source, you will
|
|---|
| 24 | need to download the binary version to bootstrap the <acronym>JDK</acronym>
|
|---|
| 25 | build. Follow the below link to download both source and binary packages. When
|
|---|
| 26 | downloading the source also download the <application>Mozilla</application>
|
|---|
| 27 | headers package available at the same location.</para>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <para>For users who cannot download the <application>J2SDK</application> source owing to license restrictions, <application>blackdown
|
|---|
| 30 | </application> has an <acronym>GCC</acronym>-3 based precompiled version.
