Installation

Hardware Requirements

These JavaBeans are designed to be compliant with 100% Pure Java requirements, and will therefore execute on any hardware platform that supports the Java Environment.

233 KB of disk space is required to install the jar files for the POP3 suite of beans . Additional hard disk space would be required to install the Java Development Kit, Bean Development Kit or any Java Application Builder Tool which may be used to build / compile applications using these beans.


tocSoftware Requirements

The POP3 suite of beans are designed to work with Java Development Kit Version 1.1 and above.

These beans may be linked to each other and tested in the BeanBox testing tool from JavaSoft. Any Java Application Builder (e.g. VisualAge for Java from IBM Corp, VisualCafé from Symantec Corp., Java Workshop from SunSoft) with JavaBeans support may be used to develop applications using these beans.


tocInstallation Instructions

  1. After downloading pop3.zip, unzip it. It will automatically create a new directory called pop3 and extract files into it.
  2. To use the component in the BeanBox, copy (using the relevant copy command on the operating system) the jar file for the required component (available in the lib directory) to the BeanBox's jars directory.
  3. To use the component in any of the IDEs, import the corresponding .jar file.
    {short description of image}Note : Please refer to the User's Guide of your IDE on how to import a bean into the IDE.
  4. To run the demo application provided with this package, follow the steps given below .

Setting the CLASSPATH

WINDOWS CLASSPATH

After installing the software, update the CLASSPATH environment variable as follows.

  1. For Windows NT only - Start the Control Panel, select System, then edit the CLASSPATH environment variable and add the following:

    pop3\lib\pop3.ui.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.protocol.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.decoder.jar

  2. For Windows 95-

    To change the CLASSPATH, open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and make the change to the CLASSPATH statement. (Be sure to make a backup of your AUTOEXEC.BAT before making any changes).

    Set the CLASSPATH to point to
    pop3\lib\pop3.ui.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.protocol.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.decoder.jar

    For example if pop3 is installed under C:\ then set CLASSPATH as (Add the following line to the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.)

    CLASSPATH = C:\pop3\lib\pop3.ui.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.protocol.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.decoder.jar;%CLASSPATH%

  3. Reboot the machine for the changes to take effect.

AIX CLASSPATH

After installing the software, update the CLASSPATH environment variable as follows.

  1. CLASSPATH Environment variable -

    Open the .profile file and set the CLASSPATH environment variable. (Be sure to take a backup of your .profile before making any changes.)

    Set the CLASSPATH to point to
    pop3/lib/pop3.ui.jar:pop3/lib/pop3.protocol.jar:pop3/lib/pop3.decoder.jar

    For example if pop3 is installed under your home directory then set CLASSPATH as - (Add the following line to the .profile file.)

    export CLASSPATH = pop3/lib/pop3.ui.jar:pop3/lib/pop3.protocol.jar:pop3/lib/pop3.decoder.jar;$CLASSPATH

  2. Type . .profile on the command line for the changes to take effect.

OS/2 CLASSPATH

After installing the software, update the CLASSPATH environment variable as follows

  1. Open the CONFIG.SYS file and make the changes to the CLASSPATH statement. (Be sure to make a backup of your CONFIG.SYS before making any changes.)

    Set the CLASSPATH to point to
    pop3\lib\pop3.ui.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.protocol.jar;pop3\lib\pop3.decoder.jar

    For example if POP3 is installed under C:\, then set CLASSPATH as (add the following lines to the CLASSPATH environment variable of the config.sys file.)

    c:\pop3\lib\pop3.ui.jar; c:\pop3\lib\pop3.protocol.jar;c:\pop3\lib\pop3.decoder.jar;%CLASSPATH%

  2. Reboot the machine for the changes to take effect .
