installing JDK 1.4, esp. the src.zip file
843804Nov 5 2001 — edited Nov 5 2001I have some questions about installing JDK 1.4:
1. After running the executable installation file, you get a src.zip file in the installation directory. Does anyone know what this is? The obvious answer is that it is the library of code for JDK 1.4. However, I have run programs on Forte Agent without unzipping this file.
2. In previous versions of the JDK, when you decompress the src.jar (it is now a src.zip file in the 1.4 version) file, it creates a src folder and decompresses all the information into that. However, in JDK 1.4, it does not create a src folder, but rather, decompresses the files into the installation directory. Is this a fault of the new release or should I create a src folder and have the src.zip file decompress into that folder?
I am running Windows 2000.
