CSIS 202 - Intro. to Computer Science II

Installing Java SDK & Eclipse IDE: Helpful Advice... follow it!; Remember... setting up the environment on your computer is not a replacement for the lab but rather a supplement. If not used properly, this will hurt you rather than help you in the course. Each semester some of the first students to drop the course are those who attempt to only work from their room and rarely go to the lab. When they get stuck they turn to their Art Major roommate for help...and it's the Titanic all over again. On the other hand those students who work in the lab and get stuck have lab assistants (upper division CSIS majors) or myself to help them. Working in your room is great...understanding what you're doing is better. When you get stuck, get your tush down to the lab and ask for help!!! ...NEVER SAY DIE!!!

note: I will have all files below with me on a flash drive that you may copy during class rather than download if you bring your computer to class.

Java SDK & JRE
- Download the following file and save it to your desktop. To save, right click on the link below and select "Save Target As..."
  - jdk-6u3-windows-i586-p.exe (~66 MB) This is the SDK (Software Developers Kit) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
- Double click the file. Follow instructions, choose all the defaults!
Eclipse IDE
- Download the following file and save it to your desktop. To save, right click on the link below and select "Save Target As..."
  - eclipse-java-europa-fall2-win32.zip (~80 MB) This is the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
- Right click the file and Extract all.

Java SDK & JRE
- Freshman Mac laptops have Java pre-installed (1.5.0) which will be fine for this course.
- If you wish to update it to 1.6.3, you may download the following file and save it to your desktop. To save, right click on the link below and select "Save Target As..."
  - jdk-6u3-linux-i586.bin (~65MB) This is the JDK (Java Developers Kit) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
- I have not done this installation on a Mac so I cannot provide an in depth instruction set for your installation.
- If you wish to help by providing an installation check list, I will post it here (giving you full credit!)
Eclipse
- Download the following file and save it to your desktop. To save, right click on the link below and select "Save Target As..."
  - eclipse-java-europa-fall2-macosx-carbon.tar.gz (~80 MB) This is the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
- Extract contents (double click and use Stuffit).

We will go over all of this and make sure all is working on Monday 1/7/08. -Prof. Wilson
