You are required to accept the licensing agreement by clicking the radio button labeled
Accept. [You may wish to actually read the agreement by clicking the link next to the
Accept button.]

After you have agreed to the licensing terms, you may choose to download either of the
install files in the first section, titled Windows Platform - J2SE(TM) Development Kit
5.0 Update 10. These instructions assume you pick the first one, Windows Offline
Installation, Multi-language. Once you have made your choice, click on the appropriate
link to initiate the download.

When the download is complete, open it by navigating to the location you saved the file
to, and double click on it. Again, you will be asked to accept the license agreement. You
will then be presented with a screen asking you to select what you want installed, and
where to put it. You should simply click Next at this point (to select the default options).
The installer will then begin installing the Java development kit.

After the development kit is installed, you will be prompted to install or reinstall the Java
Runtime Environment. Follow the procedure outlined above (i.e., click Next a few times)
and Java will be installed.

on it to open DrJava. You may be asked to locate the tools.jar file. To do this, and
assuming that you did not change the default location the Java Development Kit was
installed in, go to drive C:, then Program Files, then Java, then jdk1.5.0_10, then
lib, then tools.jar.
