Java...?

I know this is a C++ board, but I really need some help with this... Does anyone know how to just make a java program with J2SE 1.4.2? I have it, but have never made a java program, and I don't have a clue how to just get started with that program. Please help me if you can.

Sorry, I can't help you, but I just wanted to make sure you searched for a Java board, there should be a few out there. Good luck!

Have you ever concidered going to Sun's Website? They have all the documentation you need. Goto Sun J2SE

Yeah, I tried both, but didn't see a board out there like this one. Suns website also has way too much stuff, and I spent about a half an hour looking, and the only tutorial about begineer java talks about makeing a java file in like notepad or something and compiling it from dos.

Does that method of writing a program scare you?

no, but we have to use the IDE. I didn't want to say it, but its for a class. We have to write some binary search tree class, and it is our first program ever in java. Nobody in the class knows how to do it, and our professor only knows like 4 words of english and is completely worthless. I would have asked him, but when I asked him something before, he just asked me the same tyhing I was asking him.

I know that kind of teachers ;). They suck big time. Anyways, a good IDE for JAVA is Forte For Java. Search the web. If you have any questions PM me.
