IMPORTANT: It matters not which ARCH you install. However, If you install 64 bit
Java
, then you should install all 64 bit tools that use it. Enterprise application most certainly should use 64 bit. For home or small projects, 32 bit should be more than adequate.JTSDK
will be using all64 Bit
wherever possible.For example:
Eclipse
,NetBeans
, andInteliJ
IDE's should all be 64 bit if your using 64 bitJava

Apache Ant
,Apache Maven
, andGradle
, as they are only provided in 32 bit.

Overview¶
The packages within this installer will not require individual guides. However, most framework applications within the Java sphere require setting of environment variables that point to the install location. The matrix below describes those variables. It is up to the end-user how to accomplish this, but the matrix points to several How-To articles to perform the task.
Java, Maven and Ant are are particularly sensitive to these variables. If not set properly, there will be no end to problems down the road.

---|---|---|
JAVA_HOME | Location for Java | How-To JAVA_HOME |
M2_HOME | Location for Maven | How-To M2_HOME |
ANT_HOME | Location for Maven | How-To ANT_HOME |
GRADLE_OPTS | Sourced to, and used when Gradle is executed | How-To GRADLE_OPTS |
