How to Run Java in Solaris 10
Solaris 10 is an operating system developed by Sun Microsystems and used on PCs around the world. It is a graphically driven operating system, and incorporates some of the best object-oriented functionality available. This is partly due to Solaris 10's integration of Java, an open-source programming language also developed by Sun Microsystems. Solaris 10 includes the Java Development Kit, pre-installed and ready to go.

Select the Java Development Kit from the desktop simply by double-clicking on it. This will run the Java programming interface and enable you to create applications using the Java language.

2
Take advantage of the Sun Java System Access Manager. From the Sun Java System Access Manager, you will be able to run select Java applications, as well as control access to them. This includes management of all network connections, as well as remote access to Java applications within Solaris 10.

Run Java applications from the Solaris shell. The Solaris shell is a close relative of the Unix shell, so users of Unix may feel right at home. Simply type "java" followed by the name of the Java application.

4
Run Java applications meant only for systems on your server by using the Java System Application Server. The System Application Server hosts all Java native programs in one place, and gives system administrators access to the functionality across the entire network.

Run the Java System Desktop as your primary graphical user interface (GUI). The Java System Desktop incorporates all of the object-oriented power of Java into the operating system itself.

Tips & Warnings
Java and Java programs can run within Solaris 10's framework, as well as in Linux or Windows. Since Java is compatible with Linux and Windows, as well as Solaris 10, you can create applications that are truly cross-platform.
Install the Java System Desktop by downloading it from Sun Microsystems directly and letting it run in Solaris 10. It will automatically become the default GUI on your system.
Syntax errors are among the leading causes of failed commands and erroneous code. Using the Solaris 10 shell can be tricky unless you are an experienced user. Always double-check your input prior to executing code.
