Installing the Required Java Version/Encoding Set Combination

If you need to install the required Java version/encoding set combination, perform the following steps:

1. Download the required version of Java from Oracle’s web site.
2. Install Java with the appropriate character encoding set support. If you are using:
Solaris or Linux, the default installation provides support for both Basic and Extended character encoding sets.
Windows, the default installation only provides support for Basic character encoding sets unless it detects that the operating system uses non-European character sets (in which case it provides Extended support as well).

Warning 

If you require Extended character encoding set support, you should perform a Custom installation and request support for non-European languages. This ensures that a complete international version is installed, which supports the Extended encodings.
