Running Java Applications on the UNR Seismo Suns

Java is installed on the Suns using the Solaris 2 operatiing system; all except phineas and quiver are Solaris 2 machines. Runnning the complextest application on a Solaris machine, for example, requires executing:

	cd /quake/net/ftp/pub/louie/class/757/java
	/usr/local/opt/java1.2/bin/java complextest

Use control-C in the command window to exit the applications that start graphics windows. Quitting a window will not quit the Java machine.

To modify the applications, you would start with a procedure like this:

	rlogin rumble
	mkdir myjava
	cp /quake/net/ftp/pub/louie/class/757/java/*.java myjava
	cd myjava
	cp fttestc.java myfttestc.java
	textedit myfttestc.java	# be sure to change the class name declaration
			   	# from fttestc to myfttestc, for example
	/usr/local/opt/java1.2/bin/javac *.java
	/usr/local/opt/java1.2/bin/java myfttestc

Go to java.sun.com to find out where to download the JDK version 1.1 or higher, to run the tests on other types of machines.
