36INSTALLATION
37
38 The OpenJDK product is distributed in two packages: the JRE and the SDK
39 (which includes a copy of JRE). Simply take a necessary package and unzip it
40 to a directory of your choice. You will need to add the \bin subdirectory
41 inside this directory to PATH and BEGINLIBPATH to allow for starting Java
42 executables from an arbitrary location:
43
44 set PATH=<directory>\bin;%PATH%
45 set BEGINLIBPATH=<directory>\bin;%BEGINLIBPATH%
46
47 Alternatively, you may add this subdirectory to PATH and LIBPATH statements
48 of your CONFIG.SYS (and reboot) to make the given Java installation the
49 default one.
