Install JDK and Set JAVA_HOME (IJSJ)

If you have not installed the JDK software or if JAVA_HOME is not set, the GlassFish ESB installation will not be successful. The following tasks provide the information you need to install the JDK software and set JAVA_HOME on a UNIX or Windows system. To find out which JDK versions are supported for the operating system you are using, see JDK and JAVA_HOME in Planning a GlassFish ESB Installation.

Caution - The GlassFish ESB Installer does not support the 64-bit version of JDK 1.6.0_04 release on Solaris SPARC or AMD 64-bit environments.
