<h2><a name="introduction" id="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<blockquote>
Thank you for downloading this release of the Java<sup><font size=
"-2">TM</font></sup> Platform, Standard Edition ("Java SE") Development
Kit (JDK<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>). The JDK is a development
environment for building applications, applets, and components using the
Java programming language.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The JDK includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written
in the Java programming language and running on the Java platform. These
tools are designed to be used from the command line. Except for the
appletviewer, these tools do not provide a graphical user interface.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
This software bundle was created specifically for use with the Operating
System Distributor License for Java (DLJ) and this README file contains
instructions to support distribution under that license. Note that other
software bundles of the JDK and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) are
available and incorporate the Binary Code License Agreement (BCL). The
redistribution requirements are different in these two different licenses,
and the README files are also different. Please ensure that you are using
the README file that corresponds to the package you want to distribute and
that meets your distribution needs.
</blockquote>
<h2><a name="install" id="install"></a>System Requirements &
Installation</h2>
<blockquote>
System requirements, installation instructions and troubleshooting tips
are located on the Java Software web site at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install.html">JDK<sup><font size=
"-2">TM</font></sup> 5.0 Installation Instructions</a>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The above mentioned instructions are intended for use with a standard JDK
bundle from Sun Microsystems and may not be appropriate for JDK bundles
which have been modified for use with different Linux and OpenSolaris
operating system distributions.
</blockquote>
<h2><a name="docs" id="docs"></a>JDK Documentation</h2>
<blockquote>
The on-line <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/index.html">Java
Platform, Standard Edition Documentation</a> contains API specifications,
feature descriptions, developer guides, reference pages for JDK tools and
utilities, demos, and links to related information. This documentation is
also available in a download bundle which you can install on your machine.
To obtain the documentation bundle, see the <a href=
"http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html">download page</a>. For API
documentation, refer to the <a href=
"http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html">The Java Platform,
Standard Edition API Specification</a> This provides brief descriptions of
the API with an emphasis on specifications, not on code examples.

<h2><a name="relnotes" id="relnotes"></a>Release Notes</h2>
<blockquote>
See the <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/relnotes.html">Release
Notes</a> on the Java Software web site for additional information
pertaining to this release. The on-line release notes will be updated as
needed, so you should check it occasionally for the latest information.
</blockquote>
<h2><a name="compatibility" id="compatibility"></a>Compatibility</h2>
<blockquote>
See <a href=
"http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/compatibility.html">Compatibility with
Previous Releases</a> on the Java Software web site for the list of known
compatibility issues. Every effort has been made to support programs
written for previous versions of the Java platform. Although some
incompatible changes were necessary, most software should migrate to the
current version with no reprogramming. Any failure to do so is considered
a bug, except for a small number of cases where compatibility was
deliberately broken, as described on our compatibility web page. Some
compatibility-breaking changes were required to close potential security
holes or to fix implementation or design bugs.

Environment (JRE)</h2>
<blockquote>
The Java<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup> Platform, Standard Edition
Runtime Environment (JRE)allows you to run applications written in the
Java programming language. Like the Java Development Kit
(JDK<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>), it contains the Java virtual
machine, classes comprising the Java SE Platform API, and supporting
files. Unlike the JDK, it does not contain development tools such as
compilers and debuggers.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is included within this JDK bundle.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The DLJ allows for redistribution of just the Java<sup><font size=
"-2">TM</font></sup> Runtime Environment with your Operating System, in
accordance with its conditions and restrictions. If you wish to
redistribute only the JRE, rather than the JDK, follow the instructions in
the section below <a href="#redistributing_jre">Redistributing the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE)</a>. You will create a set of files that
corresponds to the JRE, which may then be modified according to the
guidelines contained in the JRE README.

<h2><a name="redistribution" id="redistribution"></a>Redistribution</h2>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<hr>
NOTE - The license for this software does not allow the redistribution
of beta and other pre-release versions.
<hr>
</blockquote>Reproduction and distribution of the Software (and also
portions of Software identified below as Redistributable) is subject to
the terms and conditions of the Operating System Distributor License for
Java (DLJ) and the obligations, restrictions, and exceptions set forth
below.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The term "vendors" used here refers to licensees, developers, and
independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and distribute the JDK
with their Operating System.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Vendors must follow the terms of the Operating System Distributor License
for Java. More information about how to successfully package and check
your distribution of the JDK can be found at <a href=
"https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/">https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net</a>.
</blockquote>
<h3>Required vs. Optional Files</h3>
<blockquote>
The files that make up the Java Development Kit (JDK<sup><font size=
"-2">TM</font></sup>) are divided into two categories: required and
optional. Optional files may be excluded from redistributions of the JDK
at the vendor's discretion.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
may optionally be omitted from redistributions of the JDK. All files not
in these lists of optional files must be included in redistributions of
the JDK.
</blockquote>
<h3>Optional Files and Directories</h3>
<blockquote>
The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions. These
files are located in the jdk1.5.0_<version> directory, where
<version> is the update version number. Solaris and Linux filenames
and separators are shown. Corresponding files with <code>_g</code> in name
can also be excluded. The corresponding man pages should be
excluded for any excluded executables (with paths listed below
beginning with <code>bin/</code> ).

<h3>Relocatable Files</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>In order to conform with the guidelines of your OS distribution, you
may move files contained within the JDK distribution to locations outside
of the Java directory hierarchy which is represented by the top-level
directory of the JDK as long as you meet the following requirements: you
must create symbolic links at the standard location for each file within
the Java directory hierarchy pointing its new location; the resulting
installation must run properly on your operating system.</p>

</blockquote>
<h3>Distributor Native Packaging</h3>
<blockquote>
Redistributors are encouraged to provide the JDK in the native
distribution packaging format and repository mechanism. The JDK
may be split into multiple packages (for example, architecture
independent and architecture dependent) with interdependencies as
long as installing the software (using conventional administration
commands or documentation provided by the distributor) results in
a JDK installation that adheres to the requirements in this README.
<br>
<br>
For example: optional files for the
JDK may be included in a separate, optional package when
installing the JDK. In addition the JDK package(s) may depend upon
the JRE package(s) as long as the JRE can be installed such that
the resulting installation adheres to the JRE README.
</blockquote>
<h3>Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension</h3>
<blockquote>
Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the JDK allow
strong but limited cryptography to be used. These files are located at<br>
<br>
<code><java-home>/lib/security/local_policy.jar</code>
<code><java-home>/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar</code><br>
<br>
where <code><java-home></code> is the <code>jre</code> directory of
the JDK or the top-level directory of the JRE.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions on
cryptographic strengths is available on the JDK web site for those living
in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries may download the
unlimited strength version and replace the strong cryptography jar files
with the unlimited strength files.
</blockquote>
<h3>Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism</h3>
<blockquote>
An endorsed standard is a Java API defined through a standards process
other than the Java Community Process<font size="-2"><sup>SM</sup></font>
(JCP<font size="-2"><sup>SM</sup></font>). Because endorsed standards are
defined outside the JCP, it is anticipated that such standards will be
revised between releases of the Java<sup>TM</sup> Platform. In order to
take advantage of new revisions to endorsed standards, developers and
software vendors may use the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism to
provide newer versions of an endorsed standard than those included in the
Java<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup> Platform as released by Sun
Microsystems.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism,
including the list of platform packages that it may be used to override,
