- Download and install JDK 5.0 Update 9 from <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp">Sun Microsystems</a> site [Filename: jdk-1_5_0_05-windows-i586-p.exe].
Do not download the NetBeans 4.1 IDE, J2EE 1.4, or JRE 5.0 from Sun -- only the link for JDK 5.0 Update 9. - Once you have downloaded and installed JDK 5.0 Update 9, <a href="http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp">verify that you have the latest version installed</a>. The verification page should say that you have Java Runtime Version 1.5 installed. - <a href="http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/drjava/drjava-stable-20050814-2234.exe">Download and install the latest stable version of Dr. Java for Windows</a>. Dr. Java is a single executable (.exe) file, there is no installation program for it. I recommend putting the Dr. Java application on your desktop. - Add or change the file associations for .java and .class files to open with Dr. Java:
Click the File Types tab. Create or change the association for .java and .class files to point to the Dr. Java application on your desktop. - Reboot your machine, and run Dr. Java. - Click the Compile All button. If everything is set-up properly, you should see javac 1.5.0 listed at the bottom right of the Dr. Java window under the heading "Compiler". i hope this is not out dated, but um try it? |

Click here Click the JDK 6 Update 2's download button Click the Accept option. Click "Windows Offline Installation (build 06), Multi-language" When completed... Double click the .exe, and just follow the awkward instructions. |

It would be worth noting that any IDE (Integrated Development Environment) must make use of a compiler in order to really make anything useful. An IDE just gives you prettier code and some helpful features. |

Start learning Java by writing the code in notepad/notepad++/some simple text editor, and compiling/running it via command line. IDE's are confusing and misleading for beginners. |

reminds me of <a href="http://www.crimsoneditor.com/">Crimson Editor</a> a very good program to use for lots of coding |

I find DrJava perfect for my needs. I prefer to use Notepad when drafting code, however. I like the interface and highlighting better. |

Dammit, pressed the quote button instead of edit. My mistake >_>. |
