Windows 2000 environment	`installDir\SUNWjdmk\jdmk5.0\index.html`

In these file names, installDir refers to the base directory of your Java DMK installation. In a default installation procedure, installDir is:

/opt on the Solaris platform
C:\Program Files on the Windows 2000 platform

These conventions are used throughout this book whenever referring to files or directories which are part of the installation.

The Java DMK relies on the management architecture of the JMX specification. The specification document, Java Management Extensions Instrumentation and Agent Specification, v1.1 (Maintenance Release, March 2002) is provided in the product documentation package under the file name jmx_instr_agent.pdf.
