Introduction

Kelp for Jdeveloper 9 is extension that provides creation of Enhydra application and tools for managing created applications:

  • XML Compiler

  • Deployer

  • DODS

Chapter 1. Requirements

  • Enhydra 5.1 installed

  • Jdeveloper 9 installed

  • JDK 1.4

Chapter 2. Install

  • Run kelp-jdeveloper-5.1-1.setup.exe

  • Choose Enhydra home, Java home and Jdeveloper home folders and finish setup program.

  • After setup, if your Jdeveloper used JDK1.3 it should bee configured to use JDK1.4.

    You can (also) do this manually:

    • set property 'SetJavaHome' in <JDEVELOPER_HOME>/jdev/bin/jdev.conf to <JDK1.4_HOME>, i.e.:

      SetJavaHome c:/j2sdk1.4.1

    • set property 'SetJavaVM' in <JDEVELOPER_HOME>/jdev/bin/jdev.conf to client, i.e.:

      SetJavaVM client

    NOTICE: you should make Jdeveloper's copy of jdk 1.4 and use it instead of system jdk 1.4. Otherwise, your other java applications may not function properly.

Installation program will add kelp.jar in <JDEVELOPER_HOME>/jdev/lib/ext folder and all needed libraries in kelpLib subfolder.

This document can be found in <JDEVELOPER_HOME>/jdev/kelp/doc.
