Before installing jConnect, you must download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK).
Installing the Java Development Kit
Download the current JDK from Sun’s Java Software Web site at the following URL:
http://java.sun.com/products/index.html
Install the JDK using the installation instructions provided.
When you install jConnect 6.0, you receive JDBC 3.0 compatible classes, but jConnect 6.0 does not implement any JDBC 3.0 methods. The 6.0 version of jConnect implements only the JDBC 2.x methods. To compile applications using jConnect 6.0, you must use JDK version 1.4 or later. See “JDBC 3.0 conformance” for more information.
After installing the JDK, define the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK installation directory. See your operating system documentation for instructions.
