In addition to platform-specific requirements, Message Queue 4.2 also depends on certain basic components that must be installed in order to develop and run Message Queue clients. Table 1–3 describes these components. Other versions or vendor implementations can also be used, but they are untested by Sun Microsystems and therefore not officially supported.
The Message Queue Installer allows you to select an existing JDK/JRE or to install the JDK version (1.5.0_15).

Table 1–4 shows additional components that you can install to provide further support for Message Queue clients. You may not need all of the components listed: for example, if you are not writing a C client, you will not need the C compiler, C++ runtime library, NSPR, or NSS.
