Software
We will be programming with the Java programming language in this course (http://java.sun.com/)
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin;
(You may have to adjust slightly for the version of the JDK update number that you have.)
C:\downloaded\jdk-6u21-windows-i586-p.exe
→
Run → Accept
→ check that "Development Tools" is selected
and that the path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
At the end of this porcess JDK will be in
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\
There are various Java IDEs that you could use to edit your java programs, compile them and then run them (instead of using the command-line tools and a separate editor). Here are some links, with no intended implications about their usefulness. JCreator and Eclipse will be available in the CSIL labs. In class we will use JCreator.
C:\downloaded\jcrea450_setup.exe
and follow the instructions.
Then follow JCreator Setup Wizard.
If you ever want to uninstall JCreator LE, do not just delete it;
use the "Add/Remove Programs"apt-get install free-java-sdk
Unless you're using an IDE, you'll need a separate text editor. Any text editor you like will do. One that has syntax highlighting will be nice, but certainly not required. These are some suggestions.
You will probably need some software to compress files for submission.
.zip
files to open them.
Instructions are provided for creating
a .zip
file under XP. You may want to transfer files to and from your account at SFU. You should use a secure file transfer (SCP) program for this.
scp
should be available by default on Unix/Linux systems. You may want to access your files from at your H: directories from your CSIL account.
