The following steps describe how to setup a Java™ environment to be used with Genero.
- Download the latest JDK from your preferred Java provider. On production sites, you only
need a Java Runtime Environment
(JRE).
- Install the package on your platform by following the vendor
installation notes.
- Set the PATH environment variable to the directory containing
the Java compiler (javac), and
to the Java Virtual Machine
(java).
- Configure your environment to let the dynamic linker find
the libjvm.so shared library on UNIX™ or the JVM.DLL on Windows™. For example, on a Linux/Intel
you add $JRE_HOME/lib/i386/server to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Set the CLASSPATH or pass the --java-option=-Djava.class.path=<pathlist>option to fglrun with the
directories of the Java packages
you want to use. You must add FGLDIR/lib/fgl.jar
to the class path in order to compile Java code with language specific
classes such as com.fourjs.fgl.lang.FglDecimal or com.fourjs.fgl.lang.FglRecord.
- Try your JDK by compiling a small java sample and executing
it.
