Welcome to the Java Ranch, we hope you’ll enjoy visiting as a regular however, your name is not in keeping with our naming policy here at the ranch. Please change your display name to an appropriate name as shown in the policy. Thanks again and we hope to see you around the ranch!! PS: Forte is an IDE, the Sun SDK it just the tools to get the job done by hand.
