Solaris minimal installation is not supported in Java ES 4. Of the required OS installations allowed to run Java ES 2005Q4, only 1, 2 and 3 (shown below) are allowed to perform a Java ES 2005Q4 installation:

1) Entire installation plus OEM

4) End user installation

5) Core installation


Operating Systems:


Note –

Please note that this is the last release that Sun will ship new versions of Java Enterprise System for Solaris 8 and RedHat 2.1. The next release of Java Enterprise System will support Solaris 9 and 10 (x86 and SPARC) and RedHat 3 and 4. This does not affect the support life that customers obtain for Java Enterprise System released prior to that date. We recommend customers commence their transition planning to a newer version of Solaris and RedHat.
