Below are the downloads and resources available from this page
  • Windows Java Runtime Environment (JRE):
    j2re-1_4_2_08-windows-i586-p.exe All Languages (15.8 Mb)
    The JRE is needed to run Ptolemy II, but is not sufficient to recompile Ptolemy II from sources.
  • Windows and other platforms Java Development Kit (JDK):
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/.
    The JDK is needed to recompile Ptolemy II. The JDK includes the JRE.
    If you are recompiling Ptolemy II from source, then download the JDK.
  • Java 3D for other platforms and for recompiling:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/download.html
    The Java 3D SDK is necessary for recompiling the GR domain. The Java 3D SDK includes the Java 3D runtime.
    The domains other than GR II will recompile without the Java 3D SDK.
  • Information about installing the Cygwin toolkit - Under Windows Cygwin is needed to recompile Ptolemy II.
  • Windows users may also want to follow the Eclipse instructions.
  • Ptolemy II 5.0.1 source only (28.1 Mb).

    • Instructions

    1. Install Java, if necessary

    All versions of Ptolemy II 5.0.1 require Java 1.4 or later. Java 1.4.2_08 is preferred.
    To run Ptolemy II, the Java runtime environment (JRE) is sufficient.
    To run the applets in a browser, the Java plug-in is required. The JRE is bundled with the plug-in, so downloading the plug-in is sufficient.
    To recompile Ptolemy II from source or extend Ptolemy II with your own Java code, the Java development kit (JDK) or an equivalent Java development environment is required. The JDK includes a Java compiler.

    One way to determine what version of Java (if any) is installed is to run our Java Version Applet , which uses the Java 1.4 plug-in.

    Another way is to run the command below to see whether you have Java installed, and whether it is the proper version: 

    java -version
    If the command cannot be found, or the version that is printed is less than 1.4, you should install the plug-in, JRE 1.4, or JDK 1.4

    You can determine if the javac compiler is in your path with 

    java -help
    If the command is not found, and you want to rebuild from sources, then you would need to install the JDK.
