Re: New to the Java world

Hi have you downloaded the Java Development Kit. and installed it, I think?
Opera might put a version on your computer




You could do a file search for "javac.exe" that is short for "Java Compiler"
and see if javac.exe is on your computer

then you make a " *.java " file with notepad or similar, use the example
below,
~~~~~~~~~  " HelloWorld.java "  file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

public class HelloWorld {

   public static void main(String arg[]) {
      System.out.println("Hello, everybody!");
   }

}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sun talk about " crosspath" but  I made a batch file called it
"MakeClass.bat" in that I use directory path to javac is in (seen below,
this batch file is in the same folder as the " HelloWorld.java " files I am
working on
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

C:\jdk1.3.1\bin\javac HelloWorld.java
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it is ready to make in a new class from new " HelloWorld.java " file,
Then I edit the " *.java " file (with Notepad), Save it, Double click on to
"MakeClass.bat"  and it makes a new " HelloWorld.class "

No need to retype "javac work.java" from DOS each time you need to make new
" *.class "

##############################
to run use
C:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java HelloWorld

already stoped down-loading a virus onto my computer that someone else from

Hi All,

I'm completely new to Java, and come I have a heavy microsoft background. I
was wondering what I would to need install on my
PC at home to start learning about Web, Messaging,
Database development.

Are there any web sites to help developers from a microsoft background get
familiar with Java based development?

Regards,
             Steven Fraser
