MySQL, Tomcat, and JDK were installed as part of the setup process for a new system. First, JDK 1.7.0_25 was installed, with the default installation path being C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\. After the installation, the JDK environment variables were configured as follows:
1. Opened "My Computer" and went to Properties.
2. Accessed Advanced System Settings and then Environment Variables.
3. Created three system variables:
- JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25
- CLASSPATH= .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\dt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar; (Note: .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\dt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar; must be included)
- Path= %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;%JAVA_HOME%/bin
This setup process was crucial for enabling the proper functioning of MySQL, Tomcat, and MyEclipse. By establishing the necessary environment variables, the system was ready to support the efficient execution of these essential software applications.
