Supported Platforms and Components
Message Queue 4.1 is supported on Solaris, Linux,
and Windows operating system platforms. Table 1–1 shows the supported versions of each of these platforms.
The chapters that follow describe the hardware and software requirements for
each of these platforms and provide platform-specific installation instructions.

In addition to platform-specific requirements, Message Queue 4.1 also
depends on certain basic components that must be installed in order to develop
and run Message Queue clients. Table 1–2 describes
these components. Other versions or vendor implementations can also be used,
but they are untested by Sun Microsystems and therefore not officially supported.
Note – The Message Queue 4.1 Installer automatically installs the
required JDK version as of the time of release.

Table 1–3 shows additional components
that you can install to provide further support for Message Queue clients.
You may not need all of the components listed: for example, if you are not
writing a C client, you will not need the C compiler, C++ runtime library, NSPR, or NSS.
