Anyj comes with a IBM JRE 1.1.8 for win32, which performs very
well. This VM is invoked by default (anyj.exe).
For the
Debugger to work with JDK 1.2.2 it is neccessary to apply a
patch that comes along with AnyJ. It is a simple batch file called
debuggerpatchJDK1.2.2.bat in the installation dir of AnyJ.
If you don't like command lines, you might want to drag your JDK1.2.2
installation directory on the batch file to apply the patch.
Although the MS-VM performs well (espially the GUI) with large
Apps, the MS-VM has several installation-related disadvantages and is
significantly slower in some computing insensitiv tasks (such as
parsing) than the jre delivered with AnyJ.
Check the version
installed on your machine by running jview.exe on a command
line. Recommend version 5.00.318x or higher (though versions >=
5.00.3124 should work well, but not explicitely tested).
Warning:
By default AnyJ puts its
userdependent data into [installdir]\anyJ
If you are installing
over the unpatched 1.2 version of AnyJ, rename [installdir]\home, to
[installdir]\anyj, to keep your current settings & workspace.
To do a network setup, start AnyJ using anyj.exe [local userdir].
Note that it is recommended to specify a LOCAL directory, because AnyJ's database is stored here. Performance of Intelli*ense reduces drastically if the userhome (default [installdir]\anyj) resides on a network drive.
Ensure you have write access in [installdir]\anyj. If not, specify another (existing & local) home directory by passing it as the first argument to anyj.exe.
