Hello All !

Just downloaded the SDK and installed it, but I can't find this file.
Has there been a change between 1.3.1 and 1.4 ? How do I get Eclipse to
work without it ?

TIA

Regards,
chong

Chong ,

Glad you got Eclipse working.

We decided to split rt.jar in the IBM 1.4.0 releases.

In the Sun 1.4.x releases, rt.jar is very large (~23Mb) but there are still
other jars which are
in the bootclasspath (eg jce.jar, jsse.jar....)

We split rt.jar into more logical sections, which are smaller and which
contain all the classes
belonging to related functions. namely:

core.jar < Core J2SE classes
charsets.jar < Character sets for national language support
graphics.jar < Swing, 2DGraphics, AWT
security.jar < Security components such as JSSE, JCE, JAAS
server.jar < J2EE server-related classes, eg JNDI, JDBC
xml.jar < XML Parser, XSLT engine


Yours, Mike.
