Installing

Battlefield Java requires a java runtime version 1.4 or later. If you are intending to developer a new ruler then you will also need the java sdk version 1.4 or later.

Start by downloading and installing an appropriated java runtime.

Download and unzip the battlefieldjava.zip into a directory such as c:\program files\battlefieldjava or \user\home\battlefieldjava.

Once unzipped you execute the battlefield.jar directly (if you O/S supports file associations). If Battlefield Java fails to start then run java -jar battlefiieldjava.jar from the command line.

If you have a ruler that you have developed, copy the class files into the 'ext' directory under the directory you installed the battlefieldjava.jar into.
