RyanVM Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Just letting you guys know, Java2 Runtime Environment 5.0 has officially left the beta stages and gone final! You can download it from http://java.sun.com/. The same unattended switches that applied to 1.4.2 apply to 5.0.I'll have a 7zip switchless installer up in a bit and I'll edit this post when it's ready.EDIT: I've created one, testing it in VirtualPC now.EDIT2: It works B). The switches hardcoded into this installer are:/qb-! ADDLOCAL=ADD IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0It will pop up an extraction dialog box and an installation progress bar (with no cancel button). It installs all components, except for the autoupdate function. Yes, it supports multiple languages by default.http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ (9.01MB)Once again, this EXE does not require any switches. Just call it from your batch file or RunOnceEx or whatever you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 can java be added to opera as well? (i had dled the java included version of opera, thus i'm not sure if this applies to opera as well) thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I think Opera just uses the Netscape plugin (but don't quote me on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 XtremeMaC, yes. This is how you need to install it so that opera picks up the JVM - just install the JVM first, then opera - opera will automatically detect and tie itself into the JVM upon first-run.RyanVM, yes the netscape-related files/java-plugin are what opera uses as well. BTW, though this new version is good news, it beats me where to get the J2RE 1.5 from! Their home-page still lists the latest Java run-times as 1.4.2-05. And the J2SE is probably what gave this run-time.... but yeah, I'd wait till it (JVM 1.5) gets officially announced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i have never done anything related with netscape)No!You don't need to do anything. Just run RyanVM's EXE downloaded from above! It will do everything needed.

RyanVM Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I don't think putting NETSCAPE=1 will matter at all if you're installing it prior to Opera. Putting that value in the command line only tells it that it should install it for that browser if detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
