- HotJava 1.1 for OS/2 Samuel Audet <guardia@cam.org>
-
- Since no one released an OS/2 "version", I've decided to make this package
- to work with the ones for Solaris that Sun did. It's available from
- http://java.sun.com/products/hotjava/1.1/ where you can also get the SSL
- (Secure Sockets Layer) version. The no extention files are actually ZIPs.
- Both secure and non-secure version will work with the files provided for
- OS/2 in this package. I have tested "HotJava 1.1 Beta2".
-
- You will need OS/2 Java JDK 1.1.1 (and whichever version of OS/2 gets that
- running). It's available from
- http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/java111/f-feat.htm
-
- Once this is setup, unzip this package in HotJava1.1\bin directory
- You will have makeobj.cmd and run.cmd available to use. I guess their use
- are pretty obvious, no parameters needed. Anyway, have fun with HotJava!

- Notes
- ~~~~~
- HotJava 1.1 wasn't meant to run on Java Runtime 1.1.1, but on 1.1.4. Most
- part of it seems to work fine. However, it cannot connect using HTTP
- protocol. You will get this error
-
- java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection: method
- setInstanceFollowRedirects(Z)V not found
- at sunw.hotjava.doc.DocParser.run(Compiled Code)
- at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code)
-
- I don't know Java programming yet, but I think it vaguely means that the
- program is requesting something that the runtime doesn't know
- about...nevertheless, it connects with FTP, Gopher and SMTP (Send Mail)
- just fine. This script will most probably be able to run with Java Runtime
- 1.1.4 (or up) to use with HotJava 1.1. But if you find a work around and
- you get to be able to connect with HTTP servers with 1.1.1, LET ME KNOW!!!
- thanks
-
-
- And last but not least, I am not responsible if anything happens to your
- system, this installer is free. But let me know if you have any problems,
- questions or comments!
