Miscellaneous
editUsually by Java we mean:
- The Java language;
- The Java RE -- Runtime Environment;
- The Java SDK -- Software Development Kit;
- The Java platform;
In order to only run applications we just need the JRE -- Java Runtime environment -- downloadable from: [1];
In order to develop applications we need at least:
- Java SDK -- Java Software Development Kit -- downloadable from: [2];
- an application to edit the .java files:
- any text editor would do;
- or an IDE like:
- Eclipse -- see User:Ciprian Dorin Craciun/Tools/Eclipse;
- Netbeans -- see wikipedia:NetBeans;
Usually we shall use Java 5 or Java 6.
