How do you start java environment on PC after installation

Just downloaded the Java SE Development Kit JDK6 Update 14, installed it on my PC,but the installation does not put an icon on the desktop for you to start the applciation, documentation does not seems to say how you start the environment. Can somebody explain to me how this JSE is suppose to work.
thanks

, you get a gui where you can load a file or create a file and click some button to compile and then run the program.That's not what a compiler does. What you describe is an Integrated Development Environment (= IDE).
Just like you do with a Microsoft C++ compiler.No, the Microsoft C++ compiler doesn't do that. Visual Studio does that. Visual Studio is an IDE, not a compiler.
does it only work on command line like open a dos window and type javac <filename>The JDK alone only works that way, yes.
There are IDEs for Java as well, of course.
I still suggest you start your journey with a good editor (Notepad++, JEdit) and the command line tools only. This will help you learn some important concepts.

  • How do you start a loop with an event and end the loop when u release ....

    How do you start a loop with lets say an event of some sort, whether it be holding down a key or pressing the mouse click and then stopping the loop when you release that key or mouse button.?
    double c = 1.8, i = 1, max = 90, exp = 0;
    final double inc = 0.002; //speed at while it increases
    boolean f = false, g = false;
    while (true)
        while (f == false && stopMeter == false) //increasing speed going up to 90
            exp = Math.pow (c, i);
            i += inc;
            pAngle.setText (Math.round (exp) + "");
            if (exp > max)
                f = true;
                g = false;
            } //end if

            i -= inc;

                g = true;
                f = false;
            } //end if
        } //end while
    } //end whilethis is a snippet of my increasing increments. Its for an angle meter. I can't get it to stop, when the user clicks or does something... the program just gets stuck in an infinite loop. I am still new to java and i do not know how to fix this.

  • How did YOU learn Java?

    Ok, two part question and a bunch of help for this Java newbie:
    1. How did you learn Java? Online tutorials, books, discussions, a game, or a class? Be specific and think back to when you looked at a Java program and went "wtf?"
    2. How do you keep up the new versions and therefore, useless older classes? I am reading the list on JDK 1.4 and just thinking, how could I remember all of this? If I'm used to programming one way, how can I relearn for every version?
    If I could just get some honest answers and opinions, it'd be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    Get this:
    I originally 'learned' Java from "Java Made Simple" by Peter McBride. "Made Simple" is right: having finished this book, I had no idea that you could design your own classes for use by other classes! All my methods were static, I'd never written a constructor or instantiated one of my own classes, and my applications were all contained in a single class! I had only the vaguest notion of what "object oriented" meant, and I wondered why, for example, you had to say
    Integer x = new Integer(4);
    but not
    int x = new int(4);
    The book was intended, I think, for non-programmers who have been given some free space by their ISP to design a web page, and want to add some v. simple applets for decoration. Beware of books like this if you want to learn Java in a serious way.
    For a more positive tip, I recommend Sun's very own online Java Tutorial. It covers all the key topics thoroughly and clearly, so at the end you have a good understanding of Java (More than just the basics, I'd say). If you want to move on to more advanced topics this tutorial will probably stand you in good stead (I can't be certain as I haven't moved on from here yet myself), but if you don't you will still be able to write good amateur programs.

  • How do you start the hardware test on an imac with bluetooth keyboard

    How do you start the apple hardware test on an imac with a bluetooth keyboard as the instructions is to press the D key whilst restarting? And of course the imac cant see the keyboard whilst booting up as the bluetooth connection has yet to be established

    Have you tried following the directions for running it from the DVD? The instructions are on the Hardware Test link.If you are correct and it cannot due to the wireless keyboard not making a connection you will need to borrow a wired USB keyboard.

  • How do you start new line in paragraph style?

    New trial user and can't figure out why a seemingly simple operation doesn't work..
    How do you start a new line in a paragraph block?  When I hit the enter key, it just returns to the front of the same line, overwriting the same line over and over again.
    1. Clicked Text tool.
    2. Dragged out a paragraph block.
    3. Started typing and noticed that when it reached the end of the paragraph block, it just wrapped to the beginning.
    Frustrated so could use some help.

    …but also make sure that the No Break option in the dropdown menu (triangle at upper right corner) of the Character Panel is UNchecked:

  • How do you start to analyze

    Hi all,
    How do you start to analyze previously coded programs?
    For examle one comes and says you that I want this but you are new to company and do not know anything about the program.
    Firstly you have to understand the code and then make the necessary modifications.
    But how?
    It is not easy as writting the program from the beginning..
    Thanks.

    Do one thing....
    First read the documentation of the code,( if the documentation is there)...
    Else, read the comments properly....You'll then have an idea of the code.
    You see the output first, by just pressing F8 and observe the output.
    Then start debugging the code, it might take a long time for the first 2-3 reports, but you'll be habituated.... All the best.

  • How do you start endnote numbering over in each section?

    How do you start endnote numbering over in each section?

    Breaking the threads between sections won't help you, since the endnotes
    and the endnote references in the text are completely static, regular
    text. (However, if this is a long document, breaking the thread between
    sections/chapters can significantly speed up InDesign, and it's one of
    the first things I do when working on long docs.)
    Now, presumably your endnotes references in the text have a character
    style applied to them? Likewise, hopefully your endnote references at
    the beginning of each endnote also have a character style applied to
    them? If not, the first thing to do is apply a char style to these (make
    2 styles -- one for the refs in text, the other for the numbers at start
    of endnotes).
    Next, is to find a script that can do maths based on a character style.
    Must be one around somewhere...  ... yup, here
    you go:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/free-script-to-change-all-numbers-in-a-document-using-math.php
    So, now you just need to run the script, figure out how much to subtract
    from each character style for each section so that the first note is 1,
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • How do you start using calendar?

    How do you start using calendar? Adding dates,etc?

    One concept that is not described well is that your Calendar display is the Union of all the available Calendars selected. You can have lots of calendars open, and the events from each and every one will be shown in the summary Calendar display -- sort of like they were on transparencies overlaid on each other.
    Where you put your Master Calendar depends if you want to share your Master Calendar across multiple devices or other Users.
    The default calendar you "just create" is strictly private -- not available on any other device or any other User.
    To create a shareable Master Calendar, you need to set up an account on a calendar sharing site that is visible on the Internet -- not likely to be your home Mac. You can use Google calendar, Yahoo Calendar, iCloud calendar, any Server that uses CalDav, Microsoft Exchange, and others. Once established that Master Calendar can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet through another computer, an iPhone, or other "smart" devices.
