java starter

[AmazingAnt]

hey, stupid question: Where would i go and what development stuff would i need to download to start working with Java?

[Khalid Ali]

java.sun.com
should be an obvious start..:-)
Download the most current jdk/jsdk it has all what you need

[AmazingAnt]

that's what i thought... so would "Java EE 5 SDK" be the right download?

[Khalid Ali]

nope...u do not wanna get anywhere near EE at the very beginning..Use the sdk/jsdk 5 or 1.5 (they are same)

[AmazingAnt]

ok, that might be why i had problems learning it last time... so, "J2SE v 1.4.2_12 SDK"?

[Khalid Ali]

yes, that will be ok or jdk 5 ..any one of those will do...once you download that read the sticky at the top of the forum for how to setup and to solve ur initial issues..good luck..:-)
