Pre-Installation
As mentioned in the installation overview section,
when choosing the download package you have to option
to download one with a JRE or one without a JRE. If
you have chosen a Win32, Linux or Solaris installer
that does not include a JRE or the Generic Unix installer
you need to ensure that a compatible Java JDK or JRE
installation exists prior to running the installer.
Any JRE or JDK 1.2 or later can be used although the
recommended version is 1.6.
The installer assumes that JRE or JDK is configured
correctly and can be executed by opening a console/shell
and typing the following command:
[root@host~]# Java -version
Java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed
mode, sharing)
[root@host ~]#
