Install Java 2. Install Liferay/Tomcat bundle Why use Tomcat? Tomcat is the fastest server for development of the extension environment. Use Tomcat for development even if you will use a different server for production. Then deploy your code to the other server for periodic testing. Changing servers is easy! Just change the app.server.type. For example,app.server.type=tomcatapp.server.type=websphere Tomcat Requirements Java will need to be installed and JAVA_HOME will need to set in order for Tomcat to run. What’s JAVA_HOME?JAVA_HOME is an Environment Variable. You will need to point it to the directory where you installed your JDK. Note: We will go over how to set JAVA_HOME later in the presentation. Uninstall Previous Versions of Java We will be using J2SE 5.0 jdk-1_5_0_08-windows-i586-p.exe It is highly recommended that you uninstall all previous versions of Java even if you need it for another project. Java is easy to install, and you can always reinstall the version of Java that you need after the training session is over. Errors that occur from having multiple versions of Java will cause delays for the entire class. Install Java First let’s create a folder where we will install all Java-related tools:C:\Java Next install J2SE 5.0. Double clickjdk-1_5_0_08-windows-i586-p.exe See the next slide for further instructions. Install J2SE 5.0 to C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\ instead of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\ (See below.) Right click My Computer and click Properties ? Advanced ?
