Downloadable Development Software

  • Java compiler and documentation:
    • The Java Software Development Kit (Standard Edition) Consider downloading J2SE1.4.1. Download the SDK (Software Development Kit) which includes both the Java compiler and plug-in for browsers. The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) only contains the plug-in for browsers. Note: The page that allows you to download the SDK also contains links for the installation instructions and documentation. Just scroll down the page to find them.
    • Important: Read the installation instructions. In order to conveniently run Java, you will probably need to set the path permanently as discussed in those instructions. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install-windows.html (version 1.4.1)
    • Java documentation and tutorials Consider downloading Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.1 documentation and The Java Tutorial but remember these are large files.)
  • Text Editor: For editing source code
  • Secure File Transfer: Required to tranfer files to Shemp, the CSCE server.
