Overview of the Graphical User Interface Installation Process

You can download the executable file for the Java CAPS Installer from the Sun Download Center or the DVDs from the Media Kit to install Java CAPS. The graphical user interface Java CAPS Installer provides a standard setup wizard where you can specify details about the Java CAPS installation, including the following:

• Java Software Development Kit (JDK) directory

• Installation location

• Repository name and port numbers

• Enterprise Manager

• Whether to install repository components into NetBeans

• Login credentials and secure port numbers

You can also choose to perform a custom installation or a complete installation. A complete installation is recommended. Once you have completed the initial installation, you can install additional products using the Java CAPS Uploader and the NetBeans Update Center.
