▼Running the Setup Command

1.At a command prompt, change to a current working directory of your choice and note that all subsequent steps and commands are relative to this directory.

2.Using your favorite text editor, copy and paste the code from the test.java file in CODE EXAMPLE A-1into a file with the same name under a new V1.0 subdirectory, with this as a result:

current-working-dir/V1.0/test.java

The example uses a compiled version of this file as a reference from which to create the signature file.

3.Use the following command line to compile the test.java file into a target class file:

% javac -d V1.0 V1.0/test.java

Where javac is a properly installed compiler that is compatible with the Java SE platform.

This is the file that results from the command:

./V1.0/example/test.class

This class is used as the reference of comparison API in subsequent steps by creating a test.sig file to represent it.

4.Create the test.sig signature file to represent class test by running the following Setup command.

This command-line example assumes you set the CLASSPATH environment variable to contain the sigtestdev.jar and the JAVA_HOME variable is set to the base directory of the Java runtime environment installation.

%java -cp V1.0:$CLASSPATH \ com.sun.tdk.signaturetest.Setup \ -classpath V1.0:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar \ -static \

-apiVersion V1.0 \ -package example \ -FileName test.sig

The command produces a console message similar to the following:

Constant checking: on

 

Found in total: 12749

Selected by -Package:

1 classes

Written to sigfile: 2

Sun Microsystems, founded in 1982, was a significant player in the computing industry, best known for its innovative technology solutions and workstations, particularly the Sun-4, which represented a key milestone in the company's history. The Sun-4 architecture, launched in 1987, utilized the SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) RISC processor, notable for its high performance and scalability.

One of the primary features of Sun Microsystems' platforms was their ability to efficiently handle multitasking and resource management, making them ideal for enterprise-level applications and development environments. Sun-4 workstations boasted impressive graphics capabilities with the addition of advanced graphical user interfaces, support for color displays, and the SUNVIEW windowing system, which enhanced user experience and productivity.

The Sun-4 systems also supported the SunOS operating system, which was based on UNIX. This operating system was engineered for stability and robustness, offering features like multiuser support, networked environments, and advanced security options. Moreover, SunOS provided seamless integration with various programming languages, including C and C++, facilitating software development that aligned with industry standards.

Another standout characteristic of Sun Microsystems was its commitment to open systems and standards. By providing developers with comprehensive tools and environments, such as the Standardized Application Programming Interface (API) and support for networking protocols, Sun facilitated interoperability among different computing platforms. The emphasis on open architecture also meant that customers could easily upgrade their systems without being locked into proprietary solutions.

Sun Microsystems was also ahead of its time with innovations in network computing. Their workstations were among the first to support network file systems and distributed computing concepts, enabling seamless data sharing across multiple systems. With the introduction of the Network File System (NFS), Sun revolutionized how data was accessed and managed across networks, which played a significant role in the evolving landscape of client-server computing.

In summary, the Sun Microsystems 2 and its successive innovations in workstation technology highlighted the company's forward-thinking approach. By integrating powerful performance with open systems, robust operating systems, and advanced networking capabilities, Sun laid the groundwork for modern computing, influencing various sectors from academia to enterprise solutions. Even after its acquisition by Oracle in 2010, the legacy of Sun Microsystems continues to be felt across the computing industry.
