This procedure describes how to install the JDK documentation that you have already downloaded from http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs.html. The compressed file that you download is called the documentation bundle.1. Where to unpack your documentation
If you have already installed the JDK 1.1.6 software, you should unpack the documentation bundle in the parent directory of the jdk1.1.6 directory. This enables the links to the files in the software bundle to work.2. Unpacking your documentationFor example:
- Windows: If your jdk1.1.6 directory is located at C:\jdk1.1.6, then your documentation bundle should be placed in C:\ before unpacking it.
- Solaris: if your jdk1.1.6 directory is located at /usr/local/jdk1.1.6, then your documentation bundle should be placed in /usr/local/ before unpacking it.
If you have not yet installed the JDK 1.1.6 software, unpack the documentation bundle in the directory where you want the jdk1.1.6 subdirectory to reside. Unpacking the documentation bundle will create the ./jdk1.1.6 subdirectory if none is present, and put the docs directory inside it.
Before unpacking, make sure the documentation bundle is in the same directory from which you unpacked the JDK software file. Unpack the documentation using the appropriate utility: winzip, unzip, gunzip, pkunzip, uncompress, or tar. Your utility must support long file names.3. Viewing the DocumentationFor .zip files:Unpacking the documentation bundle creates a jdk1.1.6/docs/ directory containing your JDK documents, shown below.
% unzip jdk116-doc.zipFor .tar.gz files:
% gunzip jdk116-doc.tar.gz
% tar xvf jdk116-doc.tarFor .tar.Z files:
% uncompress jdk116-doc.tar.Z
% tar xvf jdk116-doc.tarJDK Directory StructureOpen the jdk1.1.6/docs/index.html page in a browser. This is the front page of the JDK documentation.
Installing the JDK software and documentation creates the following directory structure. The directories shown in bold are installed with the JDK documentation bundle.jdk1.1.6 __________________________|________________ | | | | | | | | | | | README | | | bin | | src | docs index.html CHANGES | LICENSE lib | demo | COPYRIGHT include | _____________|___________ | | | | | api | | guide index.html | tooldocs | | | relnotes |If you don't unpack the documentation at the proper directory, the HTML links from docs/index.html to the README, CHANGES, COPYRIGHT, LICENSE, and demo files will be broken.
