Once you have the IDE installed on your system, updates may be available through the Update Center that will enable you to add new IDE modules or to update the existing IDE modules.

To Update your IDE Modules

1. Click the Update Center button from the IDE's Welcome screen or choose Tools right arrow Update Center from the main IDE window.

The Update Center wizard appears.

2. Select Sun Java Studio Update Center as the Update Center, and deselect NetBeans Update Center.

3. If you haven't set your proxy configuration, click the Proxy Configuration button.

The Proxy Configuration dialog box displays. Modify the values as needed and click OK to return to the Update Center wizard.

4. Click Next, and type your Sun Java Studio Update Center login name and password.

The Update Center displays the modules that are available to you.

5. Select individual modules or select all by clicking the >> button.

Use the < button to remove those versions that are not appropriate to your platform.

6. Click Next and follow the Update Center installation procedure.

The IDE installs the selected modules and then restarts itself.
