1. Download the latest JacOrb1.4 beta4 from http://www.jacorb.org
   
   
2. In the topmost folder of this installation you will find two files (a) orb.properties and (b) jacorb_properties.template. You will have to rename jacorb_properties.template to "jacorb.properties". You can set the verbosity level in this file and setting it to zero is a good idea , the default is set to one.
   
   
3. Copy both of these files to the <path to JRE 1.4>/lib folder of the JRE 1.4 runtime. This will make Java load the classes as specified in the orb.properties file.
   
   
4. jacorb.jar file available in the lib folder from the JacOrb installation will have to be in the class path of the application at run time. Alternately the " -Xbootclasspath/p:" option under Java can be used as well.
   
   
5. The following PCRE COM .jar files must be used instead of the other Sun jars: PCREJavaClientCOM.jar PCREJavaClient_JacOrbStubs.jar.
