following topics:
 Download and install JDK
 Download and install Eclipse
 Launch Eclipse
 Create a Java Project
 Create a Java Program
 Compile and Run a Java Program

Eclipse is a popular IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for developing software.


You can use Eclipse for programming in Java, C++, and Python, or many other languages.

1. Download and Install Java

Java is a full-fledged and powerful language that can be used in many ways. It comes in three
editions:
 Java Standard Edition (Java SE) to develop client-side applications. The applications
can run standalone or as applets running from a Web browser.
 Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) to develop server-side applications, such as Java
servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JavaServer Faces (JSF).
 Java Micro Edition (Java ME) to develop applications for mobile devices, such as cell
phone.
This course uses Java SE to introduce Java Programming. Java SE is the foundation upon
which all other Java technology is based. There are many versions of Java SE. Make sure that
you download JDK 8 or above: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html.

2. Download and Install Eclipse

Eclipse is free popular integrated development environment for developing Java programs.
You can edit, compile, run, and debug Java Programs using Eclipse. It is easy to learn if you
fellow simple instructions.

Note that, to use Eclipse for Java programming, you need to first install JDK.

1) How to Install Eclipse on Windows

x86_64.dmg").

Step 2: Double-click the downloaded Disk Image (DMG) file. Follow the screen
instructions to install Eclipse. Eclipse will be installed under "/Applications/eclipse". (To
confirm!)

3. Developing Java Programs using Eclipse

1) Creating a Java Project


Before creating Java programs in Eclipse, you need to first create a project to hold all
files. Here are the steps to create a Java project in Eclipse:
a) Choose File, New, Java Project to display the New Project wizard, as shown in Figure
3.1.a.
b) Type demo in the Project name field. As you type, the Location field is automatically
set by default. You may customized the location for your project.
c) Make sure that you selected the options Use project folder as root for sources and
class files so that the .java and .class files are in the same folder for easy access.
d) Click Finish to create the project, as shown in Figure 3.1.d.

Figure 3.1.a The new Java project dialog is for specifying a project. Figure 3.1.d. A new Java project named demo is created.
