Java *is* free, at least for the uses you most likely have in mind. WTD's link is what you want, just thought I'd clear up the fact that you're not pirating it here or anything  It's officially free. |

Assuming you're on Windows, here's a more direct link: WITH AN IDE (Netbeans): http://192.18.97.134/ECom/EComTicketServlet/BEGIN3698AB5C54F34D7CA2DB4FF34C2D19C6/-2147483648/754923711/1/562454/562430/754923711/2ts+/westCoastFSEND/j2se-1_5_0-nb-4_0-bin-oth-JPR/j2se-1_5_0-nb-4_0-bin-oth-JPR:3/jdk-1_5_0_01-nb-4_0-bin-win.exe WITHOUT AN IDE (Just the Java SDK): http://dlc.sun.com/jdk/jdk-1_5_0_01-windows-i586-p.exe |

If you're new (to Java or programming in general), learn to program without an IDE. |

Use GViM if you're on Windows, or just ViM if you're on Linux. |

Or, you know, a GUI text editor works just as well, and does syntax highlighting too. Textpad is good on Windows. |

Start -> Run, enter "cmd" and hit enter. Now try to run "java" and "javac". The former is the program that actually runs compiled programs, and the latter is the compiler itself. |

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. |

Ok, then you need to add it to PATH. Which version of Windows? |

Do you remember which directory you told the installer to put it in? Browse to that directory and find the "bin" directory. |

C:\Program Files\Java |

If you go to Start -> Settings -> Advanced. There should be a panel here to set environment variables. You want to tack:
Onto the end of the PATH variable. |

Vi is really nice because it's set up so you never have to touch the mouse to do anything. Now, obviously you can do this with most programs, but vi seems much more intuitive to me. A definately boost in my productivity when using it at least. |

1. From the desktop right click My Computer and click properties. 2. In the System Properties window click on the Advanced tab. 3. In the Advanced section click the Environment Variables button. 4. Finally, in the Environment Variables window highlight the path variable in the Systems Variable section and click edit. Add or modify the path lines with the paths you wish the computer to access. Each different directory is separated with a semicolon as shown below. C:\Program Files;C:\Winnt;C:\Winnt\System32 |
