Installing the JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME

If you do not already have the JDK software installed or if JAVA_HOME is not set, the GlassFish ESB installation will not be successful. The following tasks provide the information you need to install the JDK software and set JAVA_HOME on UNIX or Windows systems.

To find out which JDK versions are supported for the operating system you are using, see Preparing for Installation.

Caution - The GlassFish ESB Installer does not support JDK release 1.6.0_04 in the 64–bit version on the Solaris SPARC or AMD 64–bit environments.

To Install the JDK Software and Set JAVA_HOME on a UNIX System

1. Install the JDK software.
   
   1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
      
   2. Select the appropriate JDK version and click Download. The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example, at /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_02. You can change this location.
      
2. Set JAVA_HOME.
   
   • Korn and bash shells:
     export JAVA_HOME=_jdk-install-dir_
     export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
     
   • Bourne shell:
     JAVA_HOME=_jdk-install-dir_
     export JAVA_HOME
     PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
     export PATH
     
   • C shell:
     setenv JAVA_HOME _jdk-install-dir_
     setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
     export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
     

To Install the JDK Software and Set JAVA_HOME on a Windows System

1. Install the JDK software.
   
   1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
      
   2. Select the appropriate JDK software and click Download.
      The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example, at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02. You can move the JDK software to another location if desired.
      
2. Set JAVA_HOME:
   
   • Right click My Computer and select Properties.
