Java Installation
1. Recommended version
Our recommended version is currently java 1.4
You can verify which version has been installed by typing java -version at the command prompt
2. Installation on Windows
As a developer, you will need the SDK instead of the JRE. Our current recommended version at time of writing is Sun's Java 1.4.2_04. You can download this from Sun's java page or request the file directly from us.
Uninstall all other versions using Add/Remove Programs in your control panel. Then click on the exe to install java to your specified directory.
After installing, go into the Control Panel -> Java Plug-in and go through each of the settings until you are happy. Note that automatic updating is enabled by default.
Check that environment variable JAVA_HOME is pointing to the the installation directory.
Check that JAVA_HOME/bin is included in your PATH.
