If you want to compile Java source code to Java bytecode (.class files) you'll need the Java Development Kit. To run compiled Java progras you'll only need the Java Runtime Environment. |

if you have it instaled right then you have to set up JCreator's setings up for the compiler. if you go to configer -> options -> JDK profiles there should be a list of profiles for the compiler in the text box like thing, if there are none you have it set up wrong. To add a new profile u hit new and then put in the path to the main directory of the JDK and if it is set up right it should aucamity find all the libs and other paths it needs from that. at this point u can add any other libs and stuff by hiting add on the rigth tab. then hit ok and it should a profile listed in that box thing, hit apply and now when u compile it should work if you code is any good. |
