These books are available online after you have installed the documentation package of the Java DMK. The online documentation also includes the Javadoc API for the Java packages and classes, including those of the Java Management extensions. Using any web browser, open the home page corresponding to your platform. Table P–1 shows the location of the home page for the SolarisTM operating environment and Windows 2000 operating environment.

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.
The structure of this book is based on the The Java Tutorial:
