| JavaBeans(tm) Activation Framework 1.2 Release Notes |
| |
| Welcome to the JavaBeans(tm) Activation Framework! |
| |
| System Requirements: |
| -------------------- |
| |
| The JavaBeans(tm) Activation Framework (JAF) was developed and tested |
| against JDK 1.5. JAF is written in Java (with no native code). It |
| will run on any JDK 1.5 (or newer) compatible virtual machine. |
| |
| Note that JAF is included in Java SE 6 and later releases. |
| |
| Installation: |
| ------------- |
| |
| There is effectively *no* installation of the JAF. The classes that |
| make up the JAF are contained in the included Java(tm) Archive (JAR) file, |
| "javax.activation.jar". This file can be placed anywhere accessible to the |
| Java virtual machine running on your system. The only requirement is |
| that the javax.activation.jar be included in your system's class path so |
| Java can find the JAF classes. |
| |
| Related Web Sites: |
| ------------------ |
| |
| There are a number of web sites you might find useful if you haven't |
| already run across them: |
| |
| http://javamail.java.net -- The JavaMail(tm) API provides a set |
| of abstract classes that model a mail system. |
| Its implementation is dependent on the JAF. |
