Before You Begin

This product is hereafter referred to as "Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE" or "the IDE." Topics covered include:

See the release notes for a list of environments in which you can create the examples in this book. The release notes are available on this web page:

http://forte.sun.com/ffj/documentation/index.html

Screen shots vary slightly from one platform to another. You should have no trouble translating the slight differences to your platform. Although almost all procedures use the interface of the Sun ONE Studio 4 software, occasionally you might be instructed to enter a command at the command line. Here too, there are slight differences from one platform to another. For example, a Microsoft Windows command might look like this: 

c:>cd MyWorkDir\MyPackage

To translate for UNIX® or Linux environments, simply change the prompt and use forward slashes: 

% cd MyWorkDir/MyPackage
