----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Downloading
-----------

Got the jdk package from
	ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/Linux/packages/yellowdog/devel/jdk/

The "README" file attached to this reads:

"This is only a test version of JDK for Glibc 2.1. Please use it 
 at your own risk."

It should also be understood that this is a licensed package,
not free!


Installation
------------

# bunzip2 -dc jdk12_pre-v2_test.tar.bz2 | tar -xpvf - -C /opt
# cd /opt
# ln -s jdk12_pre-v2_test jdk

The following step is necessary since some files in the distribution
have wrong permission:

# chgrp -R <group you belong to> jdk

or make the whole jdk directory globally accessible (against
the security spirit of Java?):

# chmod -R a+r jdk

In order to avoid font warnings, add /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
to font path.

$ xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1

To make JDK work in LANG=ja_JP, do

# cp -p font.properties.ja /opt/jdk/jre/lib/

This is all you need to use JDK in Japanese, thanks to locale
support of glibc2.1. You can run your favorite applet like

$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk/bin
$ LANG=ja_JP appletviewer foobar.html
