How to start Java

Hi everyone,
Am hearing too much about Java and its goodness.. Therefore decided to join try it out.
I trying to install Java version (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12). But what is next step after that?
I heard about setting path in environment variables in Computer (Right Click> Properties> Advance Tab) Environment Variables..
Q1) That is when there is a list of things to configure.. SETPATH, PATH blar blar blar...
Q2) I realised in my C:\Program Files\ Java I had 2 JRE (Java Run Time Environment) -jre1.5.0_06 & jre6, will that complicates the compiler during runtime compilation?
PS: My Operating System is Win XP Version 2002 Service PAck 3

  • How to start java applet with netbeans 6.1

    hey,
    I want to learn how to start java applet (with database) with netbeans.. I'm new to java...can you show me how can i start..if you have any doc about it can you send it to me..thank you..:)

    You really should be asking this NetBeans question at the NB site - these forums are for Java language topics, not NB support.

  • How to start java card development?

    Good Evening all,
    I am novice for java card development , from last some days I study java card and terms related to it, now i have some knowledge about applets , and API. as i read about java card 2 and 3, I think i moved to java card 2 that's why i download jcdk 2.1.
    Now i want to do something in development rather than further conceptual study. Frankly speaking I m confused where to move because different sites have different point of view so i want to execute my knowledge which i earned from last some days...
    so I want to ask
    1- which IDE would be best for java card development? { eclipse or net beans or something other}
    2- what things i would be require during java card application?{ java sdk version? jcdk version? ocf? or what}
    3- at start i want to use simulation technique to test what i made and how its work, so for this which tool or IDE would be best work for me,
    so kindly request you to guide me and show me the path where i can move and achieve what i want..
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you in advance------------------------------------------

    Hello umer,
    last night it seems very tough to execute sample program of jcdk 2.2 but finally i make it, and i also i got the IDE - net beans that is very good for java card...
    I think i should share my knowledge here for next novice people...
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------java card development require-------------------------------------------------------------
    Because here we use java for java card so we require
    1- java development kit (JDK) - use below link to get this.
    [get jdk here|http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u30-b12/jdk-6u30-windows-i586.exe]
    2- Java card require java card development kit (JCDK) I think java card version 3 is latest but i used jcdk 2.2.1
    [get jcdk here|http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/java_card_kit/2.2_01/java_card_kit-2_2_01-win-gl.zip]
    now  i think this is enough to start java card development...
    follow below steps
    1- install jdk 6 in c:/java/jdk1.6
    2-keep jcdk in c:/java_card_kit-2_2
    3- open command prompt and run
    a)-set JC_HOME=c:\java_card_kit-2_2
    b)-set JAVA_HOME=c:\java/jdk1.6
    c)-set PATH=%JC_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
    4-there are some sample project in scdk, if you want to get confidence , u should run one of them..
    run command- jcwde jcwde.app { jcwde is a simulator where u check what u made }
    and run this command in another command prompt- apdutool -nobanner -noatr demo1.scr > demo1.scr.jcwde.out
    You can get detail of 3 and 4 step from cJDK_Users_Guide.pdf which is present in jcdk.
    ------------------------this  is all which u need to do to get confidence in java card, but dont be over confident because in reality "the ball is not in your court yet"
    Note- if you are searching which java IDE is best for java card development then

    i am very new to java,
    i just to know should i keep going with java or not because i took a class by using a book by Tony Gaddis, titled Starting with java 5
    the first 4 chapter seemed a little easy to me, but right after that the rest of the chapter 5-8,i was completely lost when it had arrays or static method. it tougher and tougher .
    i don't know should I keep going from chapter 8 to the end of the book or not.

    i got some of the basic,
    i can follow the chapter pretty well,but my main is i
    don't know to how to do the assignments, i read 3
    time and i don't know where to start usually.whats the purpose of the assignment?. post your assignment. secondly arrays, arraylist and strings are very important in java and specially the OO methdaology. if you dont understand try to buy a new book an easy one. i started from this website.

  • How to start java app with many jar files

    Hi,
    I have an application that makes use of 50 jar files. When I try to start the application, I need a very long command line like
    java -classpath file1.jar;file2.jar;file3.jar; ... de.me.myapp.myclass
    This is not very handy. Is there a shorter way if all jars are in the same directory? I would like a command like this:
    java -cp /usr/local/my_jars de.me.myapp.myclass
    but this does not work.
    Any Idea if there is an easy solution?

  • How to start java Server on Vista?

    Hello, i have already done some client - server programming and it worked too, but now i have got windows Vista and when i start the server, i can only connent to it from the computers that are connected to the same router, i am not sure where the problem is because all worked fine on windows XP, maybe im just using wrong port...
    now i made a simple program,
    package server;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.net.InetAddress;
    import java.net.ServerSocket;
    public class Test {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              ServerSocket s = null;
              try {
                   s = new ServerSocket(80, 50, InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()));
                   System.out.println(s.getInetAddress());
                   s.accept();
              } catch (IOException e1) {
                   e1.printStackTrace();
              finally {
                   try {
                        s.close();
                   } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                   catch(Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
              System.out.println("Finished");
    }it does nothing, but prints "Finished" when someone connects,
    it works, for example when i open intenet explorer and write "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx is my ip address. the program finishes, but when i try it from another computer which is not connected to the same router, then nothing happens
    Thanks for help
    Juraj

    I would check your windows firewall and your router settings. There is nothing in Java I know of which will do this.

    Hi Suresh,
    You can have the MDM JAVA API javadocs from the link
    http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/SP06P2/index.html
    There you can see a package named com.sap.mdm.examples.The classes in it contains some examples using which you can start understanding the code.
    You need to have MDM JAR files for it. And these JAR files to be used at build time can be added to the project thru :-
    Right click on project-> properties->Java Build Path - > Add external JARs
    At run time you can add them the reference in
    Right click on project-> properties->web dynpro references->library reference.
    Thanks

    I thought it would be like a c compilerYes, it is. Or better: it contains a compiler, among other things.
    , 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.
