Installing Java
Java Versions
Java SE (Standard Edition)
Core J ava
J ava version used in this course
Latest is J ava 8; J ava 7 or 8 should be used for almost all new projects.
J ava 8 was final in March 2014. This tutorial refers to changes in J ava 8,
but the J ava-8-specific topics are covered in
http://www.coreservlets.com/java-8-tutorial/.
Naming conventions are confusing
J ava 8 ==J DK 1.8
J ava 7 ==J DK 1.7
J ava 6 ==J DK 1.6
J ava 5 ==J DK 1.5
J ava 2, version 1.4 ==J DK 1.4
Java EE (Enterprise Edition)
Same core language, but adds in many libraries for Web apps and other
enterprise tasks
Many or most real-life deployments start with J ava SE and then get a server
that is bundled with the needed J ava EE libraries
Features of Recent Java
Versions
Java 5
Major update. Generics, varargs, printf, @Override, new
for loop.
Java 6
Minor update. Updates to collections, Swing, etc.
Java 7
Minor update. Diamond operator, Strings in switch
statements, try-with-resources, updates to Swing
(especially new look and feel).
Java 8
Major update. Lambdas for functional programming.
Streams for bulk operations. Final version March 2014.
See tutorial at http://www.coreservlets.com/java-8-tutorial/
Which Java SE Version Should
You Use?
Server-side applications
Use the latest J ava version that your app server supports
J DK 1.4 1.8, depending how old your server is
If youcan choose, use J DK 1.8 (but 1.7 very common)
Desktop apps
For best power and speed, use J ava 8 (aka J DK 1.8)
Use older only if project is old (but consider upgrading)
Android phone apps
As of 2014, Google supports only J ava 6 (aka J DK 1.6)
Browser apps (Applets) [rare]
Separate J ava Plug-In is required in all recent browsers
For intranet apps, use J ava 8
On internet, most J ava applet sites (e.g., Yahoo! Games) use
J DK 1.6 or 1.7, but all require end-user installation
Installing Java SE
(Standard Edition)
Install Java
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/
Bookmark the Java API ( JavaDocs )
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/
This is the most important J ava reference for developers.
Eclipse integrates this API, but a separate link is still good
Use this version. The JDK Java
Development Kit includes compiler for
.java files, whereas the JRE Java
Runtime Environment is only for
executing prebuilt .class files.
This tutorial uses Eclipse, but if you prefer the
NetBeans environment, it is very easy to adapt
the instructions to that development
environment. So, if you prefer NetBeans or
your organization has standardized on it, use
this download instead of (not in addition to) the
one below.

Installing Eclipse
Installing Eclipse
Overview
Eclipse is a free open source
IDE. Support for J ava, Android,
HTML, CSS, J avaScript, C++,
PHP, J SF, servlets, and more.
http://eclipse.org/downloads/
Choose Eclipse IDE for J ava EE Developers
Use latest (Kepler early 2014, Luna late 2014).
Features
Checks your syntax as you type
Automatically compiles every
time you save file
Many tools: refactoring,
debugging, server integration,
templates for common tasks, etc.
Low learning curve:
beginners can use Eclipse without knowing these tools
Running Eclipse
Unzip the downloaded file (no installer!)
Call the folder you unzip into installDir
Double click eclipse.exe (Mac/Linux similar)
From installDir/bin
Pic is for Windows, but
Mac and Linux is similar
Click on
Workbench icon
Next time you bring
up Eclipse, it will
come up in workbench automatically
Shortcut
Many developers put Eclipse link on their desktop
R-click eclipse.exe, Copy, then go to desktop,
R-click, and Paste Shortcut (not just Paste!)
Eclipse: Running Programs
Executing program from existing project
Open existing
project
Double click
J ava file to
bring it up in editor
R-click anywhere
in code
Select Run As
J ava Application
Output goes in
Console at bottom
Note: Class must have a main method this is explained
in the upcoming basic syntax section
Eclipse: Making Projects
Creating new project
File New Project
J ava J ava Project
Pick any name
To simplify applets later,
choose Sources/Classes
in project folder
Creating new class
R-click New Class
You can have Eclipse make
main when class created, but
easier to use shortcut to insert it later
Eventually you will make package
(subdirectory) first, then put class there
Can also copy/rename existing class

Building Java Manually
(Rare)
Creating and Running Program
Create the File
Write and save a file (say Test.java) that defines public
class Test
Other than real J ava IDEs (e.g., Eclipse, NetBeans,
Intellij IDEA), there are a number of text editors (e.g.,
TextPad, UltraEdit, vi, emacs) with good J ava support.
File and class names are case sensitive
Compile the program
Compile Test.java
> javac Test.java
This step creates a file called Test.class
Run the program
> java Test
This step assumes your class has main method

Simple Examples
Installing Sample Projects
Code from all tutorials is available online
http://courses.coreservlets.com/
Click on J ava tutorial on top left of page
Import project into Eclipse
Click on appropriate tutorial section
Download ZIP file
The one for this section is called intro
Start Eclipse and go to Workbench
File Import General Existing Projects into
Workspace Select archive file (not Select root
directory).
Then browse to ZIP file you downloaded, OK, Finish
Basic Hello World Application
File HelloWorld.java:
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world.");
}
}
Notes
Application is lingo for a stand-alone J ava program
An application is a J ava class that contains main
Most J ava classes do not contain main, but only those
that contain main can be directly executed
Executing HelloWorld
In Eclipse (recommended)
Compiling
Done automatically whenever you save a file
Executing
R-click inside window, then Run As J ava Application
Output (see Console tab at bottom)
Hello, World
Manually (rare)
Compiling
javac HelloWorld.java
Executing
java HelloWorld
Output
Hello, World
Basic Hello WWW Applet
File HelloWWW.java:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWWW extends Applet {
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.BLACK);
setForeground(Color.WHITE);
setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 30));
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello, World Wide Web.", 5, 35);
}
}
Basic Hello WWW Applet

<b>Error! Must have Java enabled in your browser.</b>
</applet>
</p>
</body></html>
Basic Hello WWW Applet
(Continued)
Compiling
Eclipse: save the file
Manual: javac HelloWWW.java
Running:
Load HelloWWW.html in a J ava-enabled browser
With Eclipse, just drag the file onto browser
