Portable Java SDK

[Antoniohawk]

A friend of mine wants to be able to compile his java programs while on a computer without the sdk installed. Since this is at school, you can't install anything on the computers so I was wondering if he could just run the sdk from a cd. Any ideas on how to do this, or is it just as simple as changing a few paths and just popping the sdk on the disk?

If you have the SDK unpacked, if should be able to work from the cd, given that you add the correct environment variables. (CLASSPATH at least, I don't know if you need any others.) The Env variables may be the tricky part if he's not got access rights.
