Redistributable File List

Welcome!

Redistributable File List for Microsoft® SDK for Java™, Version 1.5

This document identifies the files that you may redistribute with your application developed using Microsoft SDK for Java 1.5. The conditions under which you may redistribute these files are described in the separate License Agreement under Redistribution Requirements.

The redistributable files are located inside SDK directories, unless otherwise noted. Files will be part of the SDK download and installed on your hard drive. When you redistribute any of these files, you should make sure you are redistributing the correct version of the files.

Categories of Redistributable Files

The following categorization of redistributable files are described in this document.

1. Microsoft Win32 Java VM Files
2. Plugin for Navigator© files
3. SDK tools files
4. CAB Files
5. Sample Files
6. DirectX File
7. General Redistribution Information

7. General Redistribution Information

Version Checking of Redistributable Files

Because other applications may redistribute earlier or later versions of the same files as redistributed with your application, it is important that you install newer versions of the files on top of older versions on your user's system, but not older versions on top of new versions. Typically, version checking is the responsibility of your setup program. If you do not have a setup program for your main application, then you must accomplish the version checking manually when installing the redistributable files on your user's system.

The programmatic technique for version checking varies, depending on which category of file you are redistributing. In each of the following sections, the version checking technique is described for each category of files. Briefly, the version checking techniques are as follows:

For the DLLs, use the standard version checking APIs available as a standard part of the Win32 API. The Win32 version checking APIs are beyond the scope of this article. For the Class library files, see sample Version, SDK has provided ClassR.exe in the \MsJavaVm directory for version checking as well.
