3.2 Starting the proxygen Tool

To start the proxygen tool, type the command for your operating environment:

prompt% installDir/SUNWjdmk/5.1/bin/proxygen <options>  <classes>

Alternatively, invoke the java com.sun.jdmk.tools.ProxyGen class by first invoking java com.sun.jdmk.tools.ProxyGen <options> <classes>. Provide the class name without the .class extension.

The script for starting the proxygen tool uses the JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine the path to the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE). Therefore, even if you have the correct path to the J2SE platform in your PATH environment variable, this setting is overwritten by the JAVA_HOME variable.
