About Java

Development Environment
What you need to run Java on your personal computer:

Java (J2SE 1.4.2). For Windows and Linux. It is built in to Mac OS X.
This site is confusing. Click on the SDK link for "Download J2SE v1.4.2_03"
On Windows, you need admin privileges.
Eclipse, the free multi-platform Java IDE we use.
Download the "3.0 Stream Stable Build". Currently 3.0M7
Just unzip and run from the place you unzip it
DrJava, the plug-in for Eclipse we use
Download drjava-eclipse-0.9.3.zip
Unzip and copy the files into the "plugins" subdirectory of eclipse
AutoCVS, the plug-in for Eclipse we use to manage CVS
Download autocvs-0.0.5.zip
Unzip and copy the files into the "plugins" subdirectory of eclipse

Note: If you have any trouble launching Eclipse after adding the DrJava or AutoCVS plugin, close eclipse, delete the ".config" subdirectory in the Eclipse directory, and restart eclipse.
