Can I run DrJava on Windows 95?

Yes, but we don’t recommend it, because Windows 95 is quite old and few updates are available for it. If you have an older computer, you also may not have enough resources to effectively run DrJava. We recommend at least 64 MB of RAM. To run DrJava on Windows 95, you must install Java 1.3.1, as described by Sun here. You will need an older version of DrJava (such as drjava-stable-20040326) that supports Java 1.3. You must also install TCP/IP support for Windows 95, since DrJava uses the Java RMI library to communicate between its two local Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). (DrJava does not communicate over the network; it has one JVM for the main program and one JVM for the Interactions Pane.) Instructions for installing TCP/IP support for Windows 95 can be found here.
