thanks guys...i successfully downloaded eclipse, i needed the JRE to accomplish this. Although its a little daunting i'm more comfortable with an IDE than a command line prompt!

and about this \bin... it's the name of sub folder where java aplications are located (such as javac.exe or java.exe). this folder is located in your JDK installation directory.




oh, i aint havin much luck with this, i tried downloading eclipse and that gives me probs as well...

yes, i am using the installation source directory: C:\Users\Cookson\Downloads\jdk-6-windows-i586.exe and clearly something is wrong. What does \bin mean exactly and where do i include it??

hi

thanks for that information. Now im at the command line and Windows can't find the javac compiler. I have a file: HelloWorldApp.java located on my C drive in a folder named Java. I installed the jdk on the following path: C:\Users\Cookson\Downloads\jdk-6-windows-i586.exe and i type this path into the command line prompt preceeding HelloWorldApp but get a message: 'the directory name is invalid'

hi

i'm a total novice to java and am looking to get hold of a compiler. I have been on the java web site and have managed to download Java(TM) Development kit 6. I cant seem to launch a compiler though?? All i want to do is get familiarised with the IDE and buy some books and start coding!! I'm using windows Vista basic, can someone help me get up and running with a compiler (freeware) or give me a clue as to how i go about aquiring/installing it.


help appreciatied
