thank you for helpin me i have succesfully hacked runescape thanks 2 you

Thanks a lot mate.. It was really helpful.

In jdk6, the environment variables (java_home, path)are needed to set or not for Window Server 2003? If needed, how should i do to set environment variables?

Nice… helped me a lot…

Saved me lots of gastric distress. Well done piece. The SUN folks committed a mortal sin of systems analysis: “everybody knows what I know”.

Thank you for your article! Actually, it already took me many time to try to find the correct location to download!

Hi Taragana

Thanks for you efforts to IT people, nice blog.
I need just more bit information about “How to install JDK 6 on Solaris sparc 64 bit”.

Could you please help me to give the instruction or steps of install????

there is this nice things that the program checks if it is already installed on a computer. I wish to install it on a memory stick so i can carry it around with me. So when I want to install it on the memory stick, the progrm stops because it is already installed on the computer.

any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks angsuman. This saved me some time. Especially when the java.sun.com pages are so large and take a long time to load over a data modem, knowing that you’re going the right way is of great benefit!

thanks for the clear info

Good Article!. Thank you!
