Thank you for downloading this release of the Java^TM Platform, Standard Edition for Business Development Kit (JDK^TM FB). This JDK FB is based on the Java^TM 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit 5.0 (JDK 5.0). As such, its bundled documentation is that of the JDK 5.0.

The JDK FB is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language.

The JDK FB includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language and running on the Java platform. These tools are designed to be used from the command line. Except for the appletviewer, these tools do not provide a graphical user interface.

System Requirements & Installation

System requirements, installation instructions and troubleshooting tips are located on the Java SE for Business Portal .

The on-line Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Documentation contains API specifications, feature descriptions, developer guides, reference pages for JDK tools and utilities, demos, and links to related information. This documentation is also available in a download bundle which you can install on your machine. For API documentation, refer to the The Java 2 Platform Standard Edition API Specification This provides brief descriptions of the API with an emphasis on specifications, not on code examples.

Release Notes

See the Java SE for Business Portal for additional information pertaining to this release. The on-line release notes will be updated as needed, so you should check them occasionally for the latest information.

See Compatibility with Previous Releases on the Java Software web site for the list of known compatibility issues. Every effort has been made to support programs written for previous versions of the Java platform. Although some incompatible changes were necessary, most software should migrate to the current version with no reprogramming. Any failure to do so is considered a bug, except for a small number of cases where compatibility was deliberately broken, as described on our compatibility web page. Some compatibility-breaking changes were required to close potential security holes or to fix implementation or design bugs.

The Bug Parade Web Page on the Java Developer Connection web site lets you search for and examine existing bug reports, submit your own bug reports, and tell us which bug fixes matter most to you. To directly submit a bug or request a feature, fill out this form:

http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport

You can send feedback on JDK documentation to the Java documentation team. You can also send comments directly to Java Software engineering team email addresses.

Note - You should not seek technical support from Bug Parade or our development teams. For support options, see the Java SE for Business Portal.

This section contains a general summary of the files and directories in the JDK. For details on the files and directories, see JDK File Structure portion of the J2SE documentation.

Development Tools

(In the bin subdirectory.) Tools and utilities that will help you develop, execute, debug, and document programs written in the Java programming language. For further information, see the tool documentation.

Runtime Environment

(In the jre subdirectory.) An implementation of the J2SE runtime environment for use by the JDK. The runtime environment includes a Java virtual machine, class libraries, and other files that support the execution of programs written in the Java programming language.

Additional Libraries

(In the lib subdirectory.) Additional class libraries and support files required by the development tools.

Demo Applets and Applications

(In the demo subdirectory.) Examples, with source code, of programming for the Java platform. These include examples that use Swing and other Java Foundation Classes, and the Java Platform Debugger Architecture.

C header Files

(In the include subdirectory.) Header files that support native-code programming using the Java Native Interface, the JVM^TM Tool Interface, and other functionality of the Java 2 Platform.

Source Code

(In src.zip.) Java programming language source files for all classes that make up the Java 2 core API (that is, source files for the java.*, javax.* and some org.* packages, but not for com.sun.* packages). This source code is provided for informational purposes only, to help developers learn and use the Java programming language. These files do not include platform-specific implementation code and cannot be used to rebuild the class libraries. To extract these files, use any common zip utility. Or, you may use the Jar utility in the JDK's bin directory:

    jar xvf src.zip

The Java SE for Business Runtime Environment (JRE^TM FB) is available as a separately downloadable product. See the download web site.

The JRE FB allows you to run applications written in the Java programming language. Like the JDK FB, it contains the Java virtual machine, classes comprising the Java 2 Platform API, and supporting files. Unlike the JDK FB, it does not contain development tools such as compilers and debuggers.

All distributions of the JRE FB with your Programs are subject to the terms of the JRE FB Software License Agreement.

Once Licensed Solution Providers have developed an application using the JDK FB, they can ship it with the JRE FB so their end-users can have a Java SE for Business platform on which to run their software.

Java Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism

For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism, including the list of platform packages that it may be used to override, see:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/standards/

Classes in the packages listed on that web page may be replaced only by classes implementing a more recent version of the API as defined by the appropriate standards body.

In addition to the packages listed in the document at the above URL, which are part of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE^TM) specification, redistributors of Sun's J2SE Reference Implementation are allowed to override classes whose sole purpose is to implement the functionality provided by public APIs defined in these Endorsed Standards packages. Redistributors may also override classes in the org.w3c.dom.* packages, or other classes whose sole purpose is to implement these APIs.
