Computing

You will be using a number of tools to complete the homework assignments for this class. Setup instructions for these tools are given below. Follow all instructions completely to ensure a proper setup.

The Java tools are available on the department's Sun Solaris-based workstations.

Java

In order to use Java and the Java tools, you must ensure that the module j2sdk/1.3.1 is loaded in your UNIX shell environment. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to a shell startup file (such as .cshrc for the C shell):

module load j2sdk/1.3.1

Note that this gives you access to JDK version 1.3.1. Documentation for this version of the Java tools is available on the Web.

JavaBeans

You must use JavaBeans on a Solaris machine or a Windows machine. For Windows machines, you will need to download the Beans Development Kit from the JavaBeans Web site and follow the setup instructions that come with it. For Solaris, choose a root directory for your JavaBeans work, cd to that directory, and then run /home/dsr/arch/sol.sun4/bin/jbsetup. To start up the beanbox, cd to the beanbox subdirectory of chosen root directory, and then run ./run.sh (on Solaris) or run.bat (on Windows).
