<title>Installation of <application>Java Access Bridge</application></title>

<para>Install <application>Java Access Bridge</application> by running the 
following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` &amp;&amp;
make</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install &amp;&amp;
cat `pkg-config --variable=prefix \
    ORBit-2.0`/share/jar/accessibility.properties \
    &gt;&gt; $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/accessibility.properties &amp;&amp;
chmod -v 444 $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/accessibility.properties &amp;&amp;
ln -v -sf `pkg-config --variable=prefix \
    ORBit-2.0`/share/jar/gnome-java-bridge.jar \
    $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext</command></userinput></screen>

<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><command>cat `pkg-config ...</command>: This command appends to (or 
creates) the Java runtime <filename>accessibility.properties</filename> file 
required for <application>Java Access Bridge</application>.</para>

<para><command>ln -sf `pkg-config ...</command>: This command creates a link 
from the access bridge <filename>jar</filename> file to the Java runtime

<para>Before running a Java program with the 
<application>Java Access Bridge</application>, you should ensure that your 
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 2 installation enables 
<acronym>CORBA</acronym> traffic over <acronym>IP</acronym> from the 
<application><acronym>ORB</acronym>it2</application> <acronym>ORB</acronym>. Do 
this by adding the following line to <filename>~/.orbitrc</filename> using the 
following command:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt;&gt; ~/.orbitrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"</command>
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
