In order to get started with our class and create your
applications you will need to install BlueJ on your computer. The JDK (Java
Development Kit) is quite large, about 32megs. You can bring a Zip disk to
download the software in our labs. (You need to have a zip drive at your home
computer)
Installation Directions and Documentation
Installing JDK 1.3 (do this first)
 | You need to have Java 2 SDK v 1.3 or 1.3.1 installed on your
system. (NOTE: BlueJ does not currently work with JDK 1.4 beta!). The
Java 2 SDK is also referred to as JDK. BlueJ does not run with JRE - a full
SDK/JDK installation is needed. |
| You can get SDK/JDK from java.sun.com.
Details about system
requirements are here. |
| Go to this section on the Sun's page (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-windows.html)
and click on the continue button. |
Download Java 2 SDK, v 1.3.1_01 Software for Windows
95 / 98 / 2000 / NT 4.0 / ME (Intel Platform)
Note: if you have a slow internet connection, it will take a long time to
download.
If you have problems downloading, please let your instructor know.
Installing BlueJ (do this second)
| Download the file latest bluej program from the website www.bluej.org.
In the table of contents on the left, choose Download,
and then bluej-11?.jar from either Server 1 or Server 2 under Step 1. The
file size of the downloaded file should be 693,809 bytes, as explained under
Step 2. Now go to the bottom of the page and click
Once you have loaded
the file, go
to the Installation Instructions.
|
| Download and print the BlueJ
Tutorial (English,
version 1.2, PDF format, updated 13.10.2000). from
the http://www.bluej.org/doc/documentation.html

versions are available in Swedish, Russian, Japanese, and Hebrew. |

Problems section in the FAQ. |
Starting BlueJ
| Follow the instructions on page 7 to start BlueJ |
| At this point I highly recommend that you follow the
steps on the BlueJ tutorial. Some of the terminology on this tutorial will
be new, so, at this point we just want to make sure that you familiarize
yourself with the BlueJ environment. |

- How does an execution in blueJ take place?
- How do you see the operations available in a class?
