AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around issues with installing Java development tools, specifically SunOne Studio and BlueJ, which require the Java Development Kit (JDK) to function properly. Users are advised to download the JDK instead of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from the official Java website. Eclipse is recommended as an alternative Java editor, noted for its speed and open-source nature. The conversation includes questions about installation directories, with users encouraged to use default settings for ease. Ultimately, one user reports successfully resolving their installation issues.

Umm...I've tried two java editors on my computer and I'm getting the same installation "error" (not really an error, but whatever). I tried Sun's SunOne Studio and it asked me for the "J2SDK home"...saying that I didn't have one and I needed one in order to solve the files. Likewise, when I attempted to install BLueJ it said a "...JDK/J2SDK must be installed to run BlueJ..."

How do I install this thing?

yep, Eclipse rulz. and is faster than SunOne...
 
I downloaded it. It seems better. I'm not that familiar with java in general yet. When I use java in the computer lab they have use SunOne and I've been using 'empty classes' so far...how do I make those in Eclipse?

download the sdk, not the jre
I'm assuming the: J2EE(TM) SDK 1.4 Developer Release

If so...once I download this, what 'Installation Directory" do I put it in? The default one already in the textbox is C:\Sun\AppServer...is this right?
 
whatever the default is fine.
 
ARG. Me =

Where do I put the Version 7.x Installation Directory?
 
Thanks a lot. I finally got them all to work.
