Engr 664: Concurrent Programming

1 November 1997: Utilities and Synchronization Packages on hal

I installed Stephen Hartley's Java packages Utilities and Synchronization so that they are on the system-wide CLASSPATH on hal. You should be able to compile and run the Java program examples from the Hartley textbook excerpts I distributed.

Remember that copies of the example code is available locally on the department's anonymous FTP site.

Details: I had previously set up the directory /opt/java_packages to hold system-wide Java packages that are NOT standard Sun Java products. I also put this directory on the default CLASSPATH definition given in csh startup script /etc/skel/local.cshrc. Today I created a subdirectory tree /opt/java_packages/ConcProgJava to hold Hartley's packages that I want to make available. Preserving his directory tree, I placed the Utilities and Synchronization packages in ConcProgJava/lib/Utilities and ConcProgJava/lib/Synchronization, respectively. To allow quick access, I also added symbolic links to the new packages so that the CLASSPATH would not need to be redefined.


21 October 1997: Concurrent Programming Using Java

I put copies of the sample programs from Stephen Hartley's Concurrent Programming Using Java on the Department's anonymous FTP site.
