macewan,
While you're enjoying your new book, perhaps you could take a minute to change your display name to comply with The JavaRanch Naming Policy.
Thanks Pardner! Hope to see you 'round the Ranch!


Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't realize I had made that mistake.

Kathy and Bert can surely take pride in the stomach distress they've caused.
But this will certainly make for fun times in bed while I recover.

I'm not sure we want to know the details about that.

I didn't mean anything naughty by that.
This has the be one of the best howto books I've ever read. And looking around my office I see maybe sixty different tech books. They really have hit on the right style of teaching oo programming. This book ought to be used as a text book in schools. It's exactly what I was looking for in my search for java newbie text.

My copy of Head First Java came in today. I'm so excited my stomach is upset.

Well I've been sick so that might have something to do with it also. But this will certainly make for fun times in bed while I recover.

I'm a COMPLETE newbie with java but

class t1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("ok");
}
}
Will have to be saved as tl.java

class t2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("ok");
}
}
Will have to be saved as t2.java

I've downloaded the wireless toolkit but I don't know how to configure it in Linux platform. Can anyone tell me how?


________________________________
Before we start we want to find out where java is located. To do so type:
which java

On my system it displays the path shown below:
/usr/lib/java/bin/java

The part of this that we are going to use is:
/usr/lib/java/bin/

Remember that path because we will use it later.
OK, we have downloaded the toolkit into our home directory. In my case the home directory is /home/macewan and that is were I downloaded the program. The name of the downloaded program is j2me_wireless_toolkit-2_1-linux-i386.bin. Let's start.

chmod +x j2me_wireless_toolkit-2_1-linux-i386.bin
./j2me_wireless_toolkit-2_1-linux-i386.bin

/usr/lib/java/bin/

It was installed in /home/macewan/WTK2.1 and to run it I need to be in the bin directory of this newly created folder and type ./ktoolbar like so
cd /home/macewan/WTK2.1/bin/
./ktoolbar
and you get this.

Installed a copy of SuSE 9 Professional this morning. Point and click install of Java Webstart, Eclipse, java browser plugin, JavaSDK. Everything worked like a charm, absolutely no problems. Grabbed a copy of DrJava and continued with my Java lessons.
By the way, if you're thinking of trying Linux then consider SuSE. I've been using Linux since '98 and this was with out a doubt the easiest, most complete OS I've installed.
