RBNB V2 Installation Notes

If you have downloaded a version with a bundled JVM, it is located in a "jre" subdirectory off of the installation root directory.  This version will be used to run the webserver and its child processes.*  If a JVM has not been installed, one will be found according to the following:
  1. The JAVA_HOME environment variable, if set. (* This will override the installed JVM, also).
  2. A JRE which is installed with its root as "InstallDir/jre".
  3. In Windows, the contents of the Registry, specifically the keys:


    4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersin\JavaHome

        and

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\CurrentVersion\JavaHome

The Jakarta-Tomcat Web Server (which provides the Web interface for the RBNB system) requires a full JDK, rather than a JRE, installation on Unix machines.
