NetBeans

by eric.sommer18 - 5/12/09 5:30 AM In reply to: Check this link by FrankQCi dont think that is a java ide or any other programming ide???
Haha
by FrankQC - 5/12/09 6:35 AM In reply to: dont think its what im looking for by eric.sommer18Neither is Notepad. You just need to have the developer environment of Java installed.
In other words, install JDK (Java Development Kit), then open that notepad, write your program and save as Name.java (whichever your public class is).
Don't save as Name.java.txt.
If you save as strictly Name.java, it's a java file.
What about compiling
by eric.sommer18 - 5/12/09 6:40 AM In reply to: Haha by FrankQCI was using texpad which can compile and run .java files can this program to the same ???
Well..
by FrankQC - 5/12/09 6:45 AM In reply to: What about compiling by eric.sommer18I use the command line so...
You just do: javac Name.java
java Name
And it will run. javac is COMPILE, JAVA is run.
dont want to do that
by eric.sommer18 - 5/12/09 6:49 AM In reply to: Well.. by FrankQCI appreciate the suggestion but i dont feel comfortable doing that so im going to keep looking
Thanks for the help though
