Installation Notes for 64-bit Support

      Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.4.2
      Solaris Operating Environment

Installing a 64-bit Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE) is a two-step
process.

   1. First, install the 32-bit Java 2 Runtime Environment. Refer to the
      32-bit Java Runtime Environment Installation Instructions,

   2. Second, install the supplemental files for 64-bit support using
      the following installation instructions.

Installation Instructions:

Use the following instructions to install the 64-bit supplement for the
Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE). The download file is a
self-extracting binary file.

    Note: For any text on this page containing the following notation,
    you must substitute the appropriate J2RE update version number for
    the notation.

      <version>

    For example, if you are downloading update 1.4.2_01, the following
    command:

      $ chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.sh

    would become:

      $ chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_01-solaris-sparcv9.sh

1. Check the download file size.

    You can download to any directory you choose; it does not have to be
    the directory where you want to install the J2RE.

    Before you download the file, notice its byte size provided on the
    download page on the web site. Once the download has completed,
    compare that file size to the size of the downloaded file to make
    sure they are equal.

2. Make sure that execute permissions are set on the self-extracting
   binary:

    chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.sh 

3. Change directory to the same directory from where you ran the
   self-extracting binary for the 32-bit install.

    This is the directory that contains the j2re1.4.2_<version>
    directory of the 32-bit J2RE. The next step installs the J2RE into
    the current directory. 

4.  Run the self-extracting binary.

    Execute the downloaded file, prepending the path to it. For example,
    if the downloaded file is in the current directory, prepend it with
    "./":

      $ ./j2re-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.sh

    The binary code license is displayed, and you are prompted to agree
    to its terms.

    Files for support of 64-bit operation are installed at several
    locations within the same j2re1.4.2_<version> directory where the
    32-bit J2RE was installed.
