why do I have a feeling that holtsoft's is just another language translator or something crappy like that? Just get yourself a copy from Sun... they know what they're doing... afterall, they're the one who made the language.

DON'T trust holt... NEVER

That's a nice thing to say considering they are linking this forum from their main page. Laughing

since the general opinion on holt is in the grey...

does anyone have any idea how to solve my problem?

buddy i'll help

so u go to this site: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html

now download the international english SDK

save to disk and run it as administrator (assuming ur using >= win2k)

just click next next ... bla bla and ur done.

(o btw u should uninstall the other java SDK u have installed already)

create a class (for testing purpose) like this:

in a file named test.java...

code:

class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

now save it.

in the Command Prompt, type this:
javac test.java

ur done.

to run it type this:
java test

ur done

o one more thing.

after isntalling the JDK donot install the JRE
the JDK (SDK) comes with a JRE..

o btw: JRE = Java Runtime Environment (also known as: Java Virtual Machine)

JDK = Java Development Kit (or Java SDK [software development kit])
