Obtaining the JSWDK

A prerequesite for downloading and installing the JSWDK is the downloading and installation of the java development kit itself. Information on how to do this can be found in Selena Sol's Introduction To Java Part 3: Installing The Java Development Kit.

Once you have done this, we can continue with the JSWDK. Like the JDK installation, you first need to obtain the JSWDK. You can download this from Sun's Java Servlet Download Area.

The download and installation of the JSWDK is similar to the JDK with one major exception. The JDK for windows is contained in a self-extracting archive executable while the JSWDK is in zip format and requires an external unzip program to unzip all the files.

Thankfully, there are plenty of zip-compatible archiving utilities in existence. One example, is the shareware program called WinZip. If you do not already have a zip program, you can obtain an evaluation copy of WinZip from WinZip.com. Once you install this program, you're ready to go.

What is zip? Zip is a format for compiling multiple files and directories together into one easily distributable file. Zip has an added benefit of also compressing the entire file package so that it produces a file that can be downloaded more quickly over the Internet.

The disadvantage of Zip is that you frequently need to have another program such as WinZip to uncompress the files into their original directories. Many people who zip up their files therefore choose to add a self extraction program to the beginning of the zip file. For example, the JDK itself is distributed this way.

For programs that are not archived in a self-extracting form, there are many zip programs on the Internet to choose from. WinZip is one of the most popular, but others such as Pkzip also work quite well and have their own advantages.

So now that we have the JSWDK zip file and a prorgam to decompress it, we're ready to go and install the JSWDK.
