Using JavaStar with Java Plug-in: Installing Applications to Use the Java Plug-in


The order in which you install your browser, the Java Plug-in, and JavaStar are important.

  1. Install Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.

  2. Install the Java Plug-in.
    Please go to http://java.sun.com/products/index.html, download Java Plug-in, and install it on your system.

  3. Install the JavaStar for Java Plug-in.
    To do this:

    1. Download the file Java Plug-in file.
      For Solaris, download JavaStar-JPI-117.tar.z.
      For Windows 95/NT, download JavaStar-JPI-117.zip.

    2. Uncompress the file in the directory where you want the Java Plug-in directory to reside.
      If you are using Solaris, uncompress the file using the commands:
        uncompress JavaStar-JPI-117.tar.Z
        tar -xpf
        JavaStar-JPI-117.tar

      For Windows 95/NT, use an unzip program to uncompress JavaStar-JPI-117.zip.

  4. Install JavaStar.

  5. Replace the Java Plug-in file rt.jar with the file of the same name provided with JavaStar.

    1. Locate the rt.jar file in the Java Plug-in directory and change the name to create a backup. For example, rename rt.jar to rt.jar.orig.
      If you are running Solaris, you should find rt.jar in the directory:
        $HOME/.netscape/java/lib 
        

      In Windows 95/NT, default location for the Java Plug-in directory is
        c:\Program Files\Java Plug-in 1.1\lib. 
        

    2. Copy the rt.jar file from the JavaStar directory to the Java Plug-in directory.
      Under Solaris, copy Solaris/117/rt.jar to $HOME/.netscape/java/lib.
      If you are using Windows 95/NT, copy rt.jar from Windows\117\rt.jar to c:\Program Files\Java Plug-in 1.1\lib.
