Install Oracle Java Development Kit

To install Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK):

1. If you have not already done so, follow instructions in Download the Software.
2. Follow instructions in the release notes to apply the patch.

   Note:

   Do not use the default installation location. By default, the installation directory is C:\Program Files\java\jdk. "Program Files" includes a space, which can cause problems. Oracle recommends specifying a directory with no spaces in the name. Also, we recommend not to include the JDK version in the directory name (for example, C:\app\jdk18016) in order to have the directory name valid if JDK needs to be upgraded in the future.

   In addition, the directory name must have no more than 8 characters; for example, C:\app\java\jdk.

3. Make a note of the directory in which you install JDK. You will need it when you install WebLogic Server.
