JAVA (SUN) ENABLED
Instructions to Enable Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
Pronto III requires that you are running a minimum of Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) 1.4.2.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is available for
download from Oracle’s website
http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp. At the
time this document was updated, the most
current version was Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) Version 6 Update 21.
Oracle’s website provides detailed information
on downloading, installing, and testing Java
Runtime Environment (JRE):
WINDOWS
 Downloading - http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
 Installing - http://java.com/en/download/help/windows_manual_download.xml
 Testing - http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1
SOLARIS AND LINUX
 Downloading with instructions - http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
 Testing - http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1
APPLE (OS X)
 According to Oracle
“Apple Computer supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature
(available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of
Java for your Mac.”
EXAMPLE
Here are the steps that I went through to install JRE 1.6.0_18-b07 for Internet
Explorer 6.0 running on Windows 2000 Professional.

UPDATE THE JAVA POLICY FILE
Instructions to Update the Java Policy File
This step is rarely needed. I suggest testing Pronto by attempting to open the Nomination
screen. If the screen loads, then you don’t need to update the Java Policy File.
Locate the “java.policy” file --- C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security
Open the file with WordPad, add this line to the permissions, and Save the File:
// Standard extensions get all permissions by default
grant codeBase "file:${{java.ext.dirs}}/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;};
// default permissions granted to all domains
grant {
// Allows any thread to stop itself using the java.lang.Thread.stop()
// method that takes no argument.
// Note that this permission is granted by default only to remain
// backwards compatible.
// It is strongly recommended that you either remove this permission
// from this policy file or further restrict it to code sources
// that you specify, because Thread.stop() is potentially unsafe.
// See "http://java.sun.com/notes" for more information.
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "stopThread";
// allows anyone to listen on un-privileged ports
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "listen";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "proxy:8080", "connect,resolve";
// "standard" properies that can be read by anyone
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.version", "read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vendor", "read";
