+ <title>Java Platform</title>
+ <para>
+ The Java Broker is an 100% Java implementation and as such it can be used on any operating
+ system supporting Java 1.6 or higher. This includes Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows XP/Vista/7/8.</para>
+ <para>
+ The broker has been tested with Java implementations from both Oracle and IBM. Whatever
+ platform you chose, it is recommended that you ensure it is patched with any critical updates made
+ available from the vendor.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Verify that your JVM is installed properly by following <link linkend="Java-Broker-Miscellaneous-JVM-Verification">these instructions.</link>
+ </para>
+ </section>
+ <section role="h3" id="Java-Broker-Installation-Prerequistes-Disk">
+ <title>Disk</title>
+ <para>The Java Broker installation requires approximately 20MB of free disk space.</para>
+ <para>The Java Broker also requires a working directory. The working directory is used for
+ the message store, that is, the area of the file-system used to record persistent messages whilst they
+ are passing through the Broker. The working directory is also used for the default location of the log file.
+ The size of the working directory will depend on the how the Broker is used.</para>
+ <para>The performance of the file system hosting the work directory is key to the performance of Broker as
+ a whole. For best performance, choose a device that has low latency and one that is uncontended by other
+ applications.</para>
+ <para>Be aware that there are additional considerations if you are considering hosting the working directory on NFS. See
+ <xref linkend="Java-Broker-Stores"/> for further details.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section role="h3" id="Java-Broker-Installation-Prerequistes-Memory">
+ <title>Memory</title>
+ <para>Qpid caches messages on the heap for performance reasons, so in general, the Broker will
+ benefit from as much heap as possible. However, on a 32bit JVM, the maximum addressable memory range
+ for a process is 4GB, after leaving space for the JVM's own use this will give a maximum heap size
+ of approximately ~3.7GB.</para>
+ </section>
+ <section role="h3" id="Java-Broker-Installation-Prerequistes-OperatingSystemAccount">
+ <title>Operating System Account</title>
+ <para>Installation or operation of Qpid does <emphasis>not</emphasis> require a privileged account (i.e. root
+ on UNIX platforms or Administrator on Windows). However it is suggested that you use an dedicated account
+ (e.g. qpid) for the installation and operation of the Java Broker.</para>
