1.0 Introduction

   Welcome to the IBM VisualAge for Java Version 1.0 Entry Edition.

   This is an unsupported trial version of the product which contains an
   Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with a Visual Composition Editor
   to help programmers rapidly create graphical Java applets and applications.

   Before installing this product we recommend you read this file in its
   entirety.

   To install the product:
    - Unzip the oEnty100.zip file (preserving the directory structure when
      unzipping) into a temporary directory.
    - Invoke the 'install.exe' file from the 'install' subdirectory and follow
      the instructions to install.
    - Once you have completed installation read the release notes by clicking
      the 'Release Notes' icon in the IBM VisualAge for Java for OS/2 folder.

   There are two product versions of IBM VisualAge for Java should you wish
   to purchase either of them.

    - VisualAge for Java Professional contains the same function as this trial
      Edition but there is no limit on the number of classes that can be created
      and online documentation is provided.

    - VisualAge for Java Enterprise contains the same function as the Professional
      Edition with the addition of Enterprise Access Builders which enable you to
      generate JavaBeans components that establish fast connections between the
      Java client and IBM CICS Transaction Servers, application servers, and data
      servers.

2.0 Prerequisites

   VisualAge for Java Version 1.0 Entry Edition requires the following software
   and hardware for development with the IDE:

      - OS/2 Warp Version 4.0 or higher (or OS/2 Warp Server Version 4 or
        OS/2 Warp Advanced Server Version 4.0)
      - An 'unzip' tool
      - Pentium(R) processor or higher recommended
      - SVGA (800x600) display or higher
      - 32 MB RAM minimum (48 MB recommended)
      - A frames-capable Web Browser to view HTML files on the Web such as
        Netscape Navigator for OS/2 2.02.


3.0 Installation Problems

The following is a list of items that you should be aware of during
install:

  - VisualAge for Java must be installed to a drive which supports long
    file names such as an HPFS drive.

  - An Uninstall of the product will require about 5 MB on the TEMP drive.
    (Or TMP drive, if TEMP is not set as an environment variable).

  - If there is an install problem resulting in an unusable system, perform
    the following tasks to remove all IBM VisualAge for Java components from
    your system:
         - Uninstall IBM VisualAge for Java by running "uninstal.cmd" from the
           INSTALL subdirectory of the directory where you installed
           IBM VisualAge for Java (eg. C:\IBMVJava).
         - Restore config.sys with the backup created automatically during
           install.  Install creates numbered backups, of the form config.xyz,
           where xyz is the first available number from 000 to 100.  The backups
           will have the time and date stamp of the time of the install.
           Copy the most recent backup file over config.sys.
         - Delete the desktop folder for IBM VisualAge for Java.
         - Delete all product files found in the directory where you
           installed IBM VisualAge for Java (eg. C:\IBMVJava).

  - The "Release Notes" icon is created as a URL object.  If the default
    browser on the system is not Netscape Navigator for OS/2, the Release
    Notes html file will not be displayed when the icon is double-clicked.
    To allow the object to display,
       - Right-click on the icon and select properties.
       - From the properties notebook, select the Browser page.
       - Change the "Path and File name" entry to the location of
         netscape.exe.
       - If the checkbox labeled "Integrated browser" is checked, uncheck it.
       - Close the notebook.
