Can I install Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 with NetBeans bundle on a Laptop?

I'm new to programming and I'm getting an Alienware notebook with WindowsXP in a few months. I just want to be sure I can install and use Java on it.
Any recommendations for literature on programming for beginners would be great too. Something easy to get into and learn from progressively, I have no programming experience.
I will be tinkering and learning Java for the next few months hopefully, and reading text, and then I'm getting the notebook and I'm wondering if I will be able to use the bundle on it or if I need more downloads or anything. So any info on that would be great along with some good text purchases.
Thanks.

The Alienware should have no problems, everything I've heard about them has been good.
I recommend that you install just Java, without Netbeans, then go to the Netbeans site - www.netbeans.org - and install the Netbeans found there. This way the 2 products are separate, and each can be independently updated - a problem if you install the bundle. Also, you can get the latest version of each.
Select the J2SE 5.0 Java Development Kit (JDK). The current version is JDK 5.0 Update 1. This could go to Update 2 in a few months. Download the offline installer (large bundle), it's less likely to create problems than the online installer.
I also recommend you download and install the documentation bundle (J2SE 5.0 Documentation, another large one) as Netbeans will need it.
I recommend Netbeans 4.0, it works well with java 5. You should avoid 4.1, as it's still not stable.
These items will allow you to create Java programs for all but the very largest corporate systems. There are specialized libraries that you can add later, as the need arises.
Be sure to read all of the installation instructions before you start (one for Java, one for the docs, and one for NB.) They'll help you avoid a lot of the beginner problems.
Sun has a very good tutorial - The Java Tutorial - that starts you at the very beginning and explains it all. There are a bunch of more specialized tutorials also, when you're ready for them. Go to java.sun.com and click Tutorials and Code Camps from the left-hand column.
You can start the Java Tutorial right now, as the first part of it (after the introductory Your First Cup of Java) is learning the basics of the language, object orientation, and inheritance. This is covered by the topics Getting Started and Learning the Java Language.
Hope you have fun!

  • Can't install java on OX 10.9.1

    I can't install java on my OX 10.9.1 by using http://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en
    what can i do? it just tells to contact the softwareproducer?

    You may be mis-reading that page. Mavericks 10.9.1 is newer than 10.7.3, so click the Download Java link at the bottom of the page:
    Java for Mac
    Check your version of Mac OS X. » How do I find my Mac OS X version?
    Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
    Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac. Java 7 is not supported by these older versions of Mac OS X. If you have problems with Java 6, contact Apple Technical Support. Java.com does not provide a download for these systems.
    Mac OS X Version 10.7.3 (Lion) or newer
    Java 7 can run on your Mac. Java 7 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later and administrator privileges for installation.

    » Download Java Mac OS X Version 10.7.3 (Lion) or newer
    If that is not the problem, please explain further.

  • I can't install Java in Firefox. Intead Java works fine with IE. I preffer Firefox 4 but...I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

    I;m running win7 64-bit and I can;t install Java in Firefox 4. Java works fine with IE.

    On Java, I think we've covered the basics. There are a couple of other articles that might help:
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Java-related%20issues Java-related issues | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help]
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning Plugin scanning - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] (you would want to make sure it is ''not'' disabled; in about:config, filter on plugin.scan and see whether anything has been changed from its default)
    On Norton, there are a number of recent threads here, but I have not been reading them. Hopefully someone has posted the answer.

  • I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

    Hi! 
    I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

    Don't change your story now. You did not say through Apple, you first gave a link to this site,
    http://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp
    You said, "Go there and download the latest version of Java"
    that plainly says,
    "Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
    Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac."
    This corroborates me saying that Java for Mac OS 10.6 is done through Software Update, no where else.
    If any Mac OS 10.6 user does not have Java on their Mac, they get it from Apple just as the link you provided shows it is from Apple. Not Oracle. You have provided the evidence that plainly contradicts yourself.
    This is your second link that is to Apple.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Just to go over this again. Software Update not only updates Java to the latest, but if Java does not exist at all, SU will install it from scratch. And in doing so will be the latest version.
    Providing a link to Oracle's site is useless information that does not get Java installed on a Mac running 10.6.

    I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
    All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
    If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
    If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
    Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
    I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
    Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
    The MS articles in question:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
    and
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
    Hope this helps!

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.

    Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.To be more precise it will be fresh installation
    but the licenses I have is of 1.1.As per my overview from Cisco prime Infrastructure 1.2 NCS and NCS(WAN)
    has been bundled into one service.But both were seperate entities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1.

    It doesn't matter if you want to make a new installation or an upgrade. The questions is the license.
    The base license is necessary for network management nodes (devices). But to get updates for your system you need the additional to your Base License the Lifecycle License (which can be ordered for 12, 24 or 36 months).
    The Lifycycle License is also based on the number of managed devices. In your case 50 devices. So you have that License - congratulations!
    Otherwise order the Lifecycle License for 50 devices (L-N-PI12-50-M). This generates CON-PSUU-PI12LF50 for 12 months, list price 414,81$. Then Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, patch the system and upgrade to 1.3.
    Have fun,

  • Can I install photoshop CS5 on a PC with an intel Core i3 processor?

    Can I install photoshop CS5 on a PC with an intel Core i3 processor? Will it run?

    I expect it would install and run, but Photoshop became resource hungry with CS4, and I suspect that a typical i3 system is not going to have heaps of RAM, so it won't run very well.  What is the operating system?  I'm guessing it is 32bit
