The Blackdown Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v1.4.2-rc1 is
available as a shell script with an embedded bzipped tarball which can
be used to install the Java2 SDK in a location chosen by the user:

        - Make the shell script executable
                % chmod +x j2sdk-1.4.2-rc1-linux-<ARCH>.bin
          (Replace <ARCH> with the architecture of your system, e.g. 
          replace <ARCH> with i586 if your on an Intel system.)
        - Change to the directory you want to install into, e.g /usr/local
                % cd /usr/local
        - Extract the contents of the Java 2 SDK by running the shell script
                % ./j2sdk-1.4.2-rc1-linux-<ARCH>.bin
          (Replace <ARCH> with the architecture of your system, e.g. 
          replace <ARCH> with i586 if your on an Intel system.)
        - Add j2sdk1.4.2/bin to PATH, e.g. if you installed into /usr/local
                % export PATH=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2/bin:$PATH
        - Continue with the Java Web Start instructions below


Java Plug-In install instructions
=================================

Please remove older plug-in versions before installing the 1.4.2-rc1
plug-in.  E.g. remove ~/.netscape/plugins/javaplugin.so and
~/.netscape/java/.

* Netscape 4 (available only on i386)

  Create a symbolic link from 
  <Java2 SDK installation>/jre/plugin/<ARCH>/netscape4/libjavaplugin.so to
  one of the directories Netscape 4 searches for plug-ins.
  E.g. 

   % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/libjavaplugin.so \
     ~/.netscape/plugins/

  or

   % su # become root
   % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/libjavaplugin.so \
     /usr/lib/plugins/

  Note: It has to be a symbolic link, copying libjavaplugin.so will
  NOT work


* Mozilla / Netscape 7

  Create a symbolic link from 
  <Java2 SDK installation>/jre/plugin/<ARCH>/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so to 
  one of the directories Mozilla/Netscape 7 searches for plug-ins.
  E.g. 

   % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
     ~/mozilla-1.0/plugins/
  or
   % su # become root
   % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
     /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

  Note: It has to be a symbolic link, copying libjavaplugin_oji.so
  will NOT work.


Java Web Start install instructions
===================================

The J2SDK installer automatically adds Java Web Start entries to
$(HOME)/.mime.types and $(HOME)/.mailcap.  For multi-user
installations you have to copy these entries to /etc/.mime.types and
/etc/mailcap.  GNOME and KDE may require additional entries.
