• classes - The Java classes that make up the two Java packages, netscape.util, netscape.application, netscape.constructor.
• Examples - Example applications built using the IFC.
• Documentation - javadoc-generated HTML files that document the IFC.

Installation on Windows 95 / Windows NT

1. Uncompress the IFC distribution file into a suitable location. For purposes of this example, it is assumed that this was the root directory of drive C. This will create a directory tree C:\cadmium6 containing the directories discussed above.

2. Now edit the CLASSPATH environment variable to include cadmium6\classes. For Windows95 users there should be an entry in the autoexec.bat file like this:
SET CLASSPATH=C:\cadmium6\classes;%CLASSPATH%
3. Reboot your machine to make sure the variable is set properly.

Installation on UNIX

1. Uncompress the IFC distribution file into a suitable location. For purposes of this example, it is assumed that this was ~/lib. This will create a directory tree ~/lib/cadmium6 containing the directories discussed above.

2. Now edit the CLASSPATH environment variable to include cadmium6/classes.
setenv CLASSPATH=~/lib/cadmium6/classes


Installation on Macintosh

You cannot specify a CLASSPATH environment variable on the Macintosh. To use the IFC class library, you must make sure that it resides in the proper location:
1. Create the following folder within the System folder: Preferences|Netscape|Java|netscape-classes

2. Copy the contents of the decompressed cadmium6|classes folder into the folder you created.
When you are finished, the netscape-classes folder should contain the netscape|application and the netscape|util folders.

Troubleshooting

Problem: When I try to build I get an error of the form:

NetscapeApplet.java(4): Package netscape.application not found in import.

Reason: Your CLASSPATH doesn't include YourDir/cadmium6/classes.

Solution: Add YourDir/cadmium6/classes to your CLASSPATH

-----

Problem: When I try to run the applet I get an error of the form:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: \F:\projects\src\test\Simple\netscape\application\FoundationApplet.class

Reason: Your CLASSPATH doesn't include YourDir/cadmium6/classes.

Solution: Add YourDir/cadmium6/classes to your CLASSPATH
