Installing the Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions on how to install your Sun ONE Studio 4, Community Edition software from the product CD or from files downloaded electronically from the web. It contains installation instructions for each of the supported platforms. The subdirectories installed with the IDE are described, and uninstallation instructions are also provided.

You can install Sun ONE Studio 4, Community Edition as a standalone product or as part of a suite of products. When you install using the CD-ROM, you can select the product configuration during the install process. If you acquire this software as part of an electronic download, the product selection is already set for you when you start the installer.

Supporting Previous Software Releases

To upgrade your previous version of the Forte for Java IDE to Sun ONE Studio 4 software, you must do one of the following:

Determine if you want to keep your previous version of the IDE. If you do, identify a different directory in which to install the Sun ONE Studio 4 software.

If you want to use the same installation directory as the previous IDE version, you must first uninstall the previous version of the IDE prior to installing Sun ONE Studio 4 software.

Determine whether you want to keep your current IDE user settings. If you decide to use your current user settings with the new IDE version, you need to specify the location of your current user directory when prompted during the initial IDE setup. Read Chapter 4 for more information.

Creating a Shared Installation

If you want to share a Sun ONE Studio 4 installation between multiple users, you must install the IDE into a shared directory.

After installation of the IDE in a Microsoft Windows system, you must set your own user directory using a dialog box that appears immediately upon initial startup of the IDE from your machine. This placement occurs for both shared and unshared installations.

After installation of the IDE in the supported Solaris environment or Linux environment, all user settings are stored in the ffjuser40ce directory created under each user's home directory. This placement occurs for both shared and unshared installations.

Installing Sun ONE Studio 4 Software on the Supported Platforms

These instructions describe the installation process for each of the supported platforms. You can install the Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE in two ways:

Installing the IDE With the Command-Line Options

If you prefer to install the Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE using the command line, follow these steps. You need to create a file called installer.sp and add to the file the command-line options you want to use to install the IDE.

1. If you have not already done so, download the installer file for your supported platform from http://www.sun.com/software/sundev/jde/buy/index.html or locate the file on the Sun ONE Studio 4 product CD in the image/ffj_installers_ce directory.

Save the installer file into the s1studio-download-directory.

If you chose to use the installer.sp file for your command-line installation, download the installer file specific to your platform.

On Microsoft Windows systems, download the ffj_ce_win32_en.exe file. In a Solaris environment, download the ffj_ce_solsparc_en.bin file. In a Linux environment, download the ffj_ce_linux_en.bin file.

If you chose to type the installation options directly on the command line, download the ffj_ce_en.jar file. Skip to Step 4.

2. Select which method of command-line installation you want to use.

There are two ways to use the command-line options for this edition of the IDE. Select one of the following methods:

Create an installer.sp file, add to the file the installation options you want to use, and use the installer file specific to your platform. For example, on Microsoft Windows systems, use the ffj_ce_win32_en.exe file with the ffj_ce_win32_en.sp file.

Use the ffj_ce_en.jar file, and type the installation options directly on the command line.

Note - Use the ffj_ce_en.jar file to install the IDE on platforms not fully supported for the Sun ONE Studio 4 release, such as the Solaris 8 operating environment (Intel platform).

3. If you chose to use the installer.sp file for your command-line installation, create the appropriate file in the s1studio-download-directory.

The IDE installer reads the command-line options you include in the installer.sp file.

On a Microsoft Windows system, create a file called ffj_ce_win32_en.sp and place the file in the s1studio-download-directory. In the Solaris and Linux environments, name the file ffj_ce_solsparc_en.sp and ffj_ce_linux_en.sp, respectively, and place the file in the s1studio-download-directory.

If you chose to type the installation options directly on the command line, you do not need the installer.sp file.

4. Determine the command-line options and corresponding values you want to use.

TABLE 3-1 lists the different command-line options and their default values, if any. You can use either the long or short name for each option.


Installation Options	Description
`fortehome=`s1studio-install-directory `fh=`s1studio-install-directory	Specifies the directory into which you want the IDE installed. This is a mandatory command-line parameter for the `-silent` mode.
`jdkhome=`jdkhome-dir `jh=`jdkhome-dir	Sets the location of the valid Java 2 SDK version to use with the IDE. The installer configures the IDE to use this Java 2 SDK software. This is a mandatory command-line parameter for the `-silent` mode.
pointbaseinstall=`yes` pointbaseinstall=`no` `pi=`yes `pi=`no	Specifies whether to install the PointBase Server 4.2 Restricted Edition. The default value is `yes`.
-silent	This option is specified on the command line and not in the installer`.sp` file. If not specified, the installation wizard appears. If specified, any error messages are displayed on the command window from which the installer was invoked.

5. If you chose to use the installer.sp file, add the command-line options in that file.

For example, on a Microsoft Windows system, the ffj_ce_win32_en.sp file might have the following contents:

fh=C:\ffj

jh=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02

pi=yes

In a Solaris environment, the ffj_ce_solsparc_en.sp file might have the following contents:

fh=/yourserver/ffj

jh=/usr/j2se

pi=yes

6. Execute the installer from the command line.

If you chose to use the installer.sp file, activate the installer from the s1studio-download-directory. The installer uses the options you have specified in the installer.sp file for your system.

For example, on a Microsoft Windows system, type the following in a command prompt window:

C:\>cd s1studio-download-directory

C:\s1studio-download-directory> ffj_ce_win32_en.exe -silent

For example, in a Solaris environment, type the following in a terminal window:

$ cd s1studio-download-directory

$ ffj_ce_solsparc_en.bin -silent

The installer displays the following in the command prompt or terminal window:

InstallShield Wizard

Initializing InstallShield Wizard...

Searching for Java(tm) Virtual Machine...

.........

Running InstallShield Wizard...

If you chose to use the ffj_ce_en.jar file, type the installation options you chose in Step 4 when you execute the ffj_ce_en.jar file.

For example, on a Microsoft Windows system, type the following in a command prompt window:

C:\> java -Dfh=C:\forte4j -Djh=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02 -Dpi=yes -jar ffj_ce_en.jar

Similarly, in a Solaris or Linux environment, type the following in a command prompt window:

$ java -Dfh=/yourserver/forte4j -Djh=/usr/j2se -Dpi=yes -jar ffj_ce_en.jar

Any error messages are displayed in the command prompt or terminal window.

Note - If you encounter errors at any point during Sun ONE Studio 4 installation, refer to Chapter 7 for troubleshooting hints.

7. Continue to Chapter 4 for information on setting up the Sun ONE Studio 4 IDE.
