APPENDIX LICENSING, INSTALLATION, AND PARTICIPATION 205 Once
APPENDIX LICENSING, INSTALLATION, AND PARTICIPATION 205 Once everything is done, you ll see a screen telling you that the installation is complete (shown in Figure A-5). You can then choose whether to see the README file or not. If you do, the README file is then displayed in a browser window. It has taken some time, but it now finally shows something relevant to Java 6. For the longest time, only Java 5 information was shown in the README. As is expected for prerelease software, some of the links sometimes didn t work (for example, the link to the installation instructions). I guess the links point to where things will be when Mustang is released the joys of prerelease software. Figure A-5. Installation complete In addition to getting the JDK, it is best to also get the javadocs. These come down in an installable JAR file. On the Binary Snapshot Releases web page (http://download.java. net/jdk6/binaries), just follow the first link on the second line, which reads Java Docs (XX MB JAR / HTML) (XX stands for the size of the JAR file). Downloading and unzipping/unjarring the documentation is surprisingly not what you do. Instead, after downloading the file, you run it with the java -jar jarfilename command, replacing jarfilename with the name of the downloaded JAR file. This requires you to accept another license agreement (shown in Figure A-6) before choosing an installation directory. Personally, I tend to enter the same directory as the JDK installation. The documentation will then go into a docs subdirectory. Once installed, you should then bookmark the top-level javadoc page. Installation takes some time.
