Java?

[krs1105]

I am trying to run an app that requires java. Is this included in the basic installation or do I need to separately install Java?
Thanks

Parallels does not come with Java. You choose the OS that you wish to virtualize and that OS may or may not come with a version of Java pre-installed. Regardless you can always install / upgrade Java inside your VM, just as if you would on your desktop.

Ok. How do I know if my WinXP has Java and if not how do I download/install?
thanks

You know, Mac OS X has Java too. If you are trying to run a java app you can run it on OS X, Snow Leopard comes with it. Lion is a separate install (google: java lion).

As for XP, ir doesn't come with java, download it (google: java download).

In Windows, open a DOS prompt and enter the following command

java -version

The output will look something like:

java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

You can also use the command "java -fullversion" and produce output such as:

java full version "1.6.0_17-b04"

On a computer without any version of Java from Sun Microsystems installed, this results in an error message:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
