Required software: You will need the Java Development Kit (JDK). Download the newest version of the JDK 5.0. Note that, in Windows, you also need to modify your command search path. To do this, you right click on "My Computer," then select Properties->Avanced->Environment Variables. From "System variables," edit "Path." To the start of its value, add: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_03\bin; (replacing jdk**** by the version number that you downloaded) Text Editors You will also need a text editor. You can use any text editor you like. For Mac users, BBEdit is popular. Linux users may like emacs, vi, or NEdit. Windows users will probably want to download a text editor... here are a few examples. Java IDE's There are many Integrated Development Kits(IDE's) for Java. You can use an IDE if you like, but we will not provide any support for IDE specific functionality. My preference would be for students to work with a text editor and the command line tools provided by JDK. Other software You will need some kind of compression software. If you use Windows XP or Linux, then you can create .zip files with tools included with the operating system. If you use an older version of Windows, you may need to download WinZip. If you use a Mac, you will need some version of StuffIt. If you transfer files from your personal computer to your SFU account, you will need a secure file transfer program:
