Appendix C Creating Jaguar 1.1 Java Clients

Requirements

This list describes the development and runtime requirements:

• Development
  To create Java clients, you need JDK 1.0.2 or 1.1 or a compatible Java compiler. You can use a visual development tool, such as PowerJ, as long as it it compiles bytecode compatible with JavaSoft's JDK 1.0.2 or 1.1 virtual machine. PowerJ is a rapid application development (RAD) Java tool for creating Java applications, applets, and components.
  
  Some server platforms may not have a JDK 1.0.2 implementation. In this case, you must develop JDK 1.0.2 applets and applications on a client machine that provides a JDK 1.0.2 development environment.
  
• Runtime
  • Applets
    To run Java applet clients, you need a browser that supports JDK 1.0.2 or above. Web browsers that support JDK 1.1 are preferred, such as Netscape 4.0. However, you may be constrained by your customer's installed browsers.
    
    You can use Marimba Castanet, available at www.marimba.com, to speed up the download of Java applet clients. Marimba Castanet 1.0 supports JDK 1.0.2 and Castanet 1.1 supports JDK 1.1.x.
    
  • Java Applications
    To run Java applications, JDK 1.0.2 or JDK 1.1 must be installed on the client machine and the Java classes.zip must be included in the CLASSPATH environment variable.
