- Here are some things you should know before you install CodeWarrior Pro Java Release 5:
-
- Use the Installer: It's much more difficult to install the CodeWarrior
- tools by dragging them from the CD to your hard drive. The installer has
- a wide variety of options so that you can install exactly what you want.
-
- It is recommended that you archive any changed components then fully
- remove and delete your Metrowerks folder before installing a newer version
- of CodeWarrior. Your current preferences will be used if you do not
- delete the preference folder. Extensions: Metronub will be overwritten
- in your extension folder. Previous extensions such as StdCLibINIT may
- no longer be necessary, you should use MacOS 8.1's extension manager or
- other utility to identify and remove obsolete extensions.
-
- • The earliest system you should install on is 8.1.
-
- •MRJ is required for debugging Java. You should install MRJ by either
- launching it from the Install CW application found at the root of your
- CodeWarrior Tools CD, or by using the MRJ installer located in the
- Apple Development Tools Folder.
-
- • The installer automatically creates a destination folder for new
- material called 'CW Pro for Java R5'. By default, this folder will
- be installed on the root level of your destination volume. If you
- wish to install the 'CW Pro for Java R5' folder in a different location,
- select the 'Select Folder' options from the install locations popup menu.
-
- • The "Finishing Installation" process that occurs after the installer
- is done copying files to your hard disk can take several minutes (up
- to 10 minutes on large installs). Several people have asked what this
- is really doing during this time. The installer is cleaning up your
- desktop database since you've just pummeled your hard drive with 8500
- files. It also removes any temporary files that are used during the
- installation process.
-
- • We have not found any INIT conflicts with the CodeWarrior installer.
- However, we strongly recommend that you restart with your Extensions
- and Control Panels turned off (except any needed to access the CD).
-
- • The installer always installs System extensions to the currently
- active System folder.
-
- • To read a description of each installation option that's more
- informative than just a name, click on the corresponding little button
- labeled 'I' on the right side of the installation options list.
-
- • In order to install French components for CodeWarrior, you must run
- the Tools Installer, installing all the packages you want. Then after
- the installation is complete, run the French Components Installer on
- the Tools CD to replace the English components on your hard drive with
- the French components. The French IDE and other localized tools will
- no longer appear on the CD in uncompressed form.
-
- • Some installation options install extensions and/or control panels
- that require you to restart your computer before you can use them.
- In these cases, the installer will give you the option of restarting.
- It will not, however, force your machine to reboot, as past CodeWarrior
- installers have. We strongly recommend that you choose to restart, as
- the installer will perform some cleanup of temporary items when you
- next reboot. If the installer displays an alert that says you need to
- restart, you will not be able to fully use the your new version of
- CodeWarrior until you restart your Macintosh.
-
- • We value your feedback on the installer, the CD organization, and
- the experience of receiving a new version of CodeWarrior in general.
- We would like to make all these things better/easier for you :-) If
- you have bug reports, comments, complaints, suggestions, praise, or
- other feedback, fill out the appropriate form located in ':Release
- Notes:e-mail report forms', and follow the directions within it.
