Installing Java If it is not already on your system, you first have to install Java. The minimum requirement for running BlueJ is Java 2 version 1.4, version 5.0 (sometimes referred to as 1.5) is recommended. Several examples on this CD use features that are new in J2SE 5.0 and will not run with version 1.4. You can test your Java installation by typing java -version in a terminal window. The Java 2 JDK (Software Development Kit), version 5.0 is included in the "jdk" directory on this CD for Solaris, Linux and Windows systems. For MacOS X, you do not need to install Java - it is already installed. Execute the installer to install. For more detailed instructions, see the official installation instructions on the Sun Web site. Installing BlueJ After installing Java, you
can install BlueJ. Reading the BlueJ/Big Java lab manual You will find the BlueJ
Lab Manual on the CD. This manual is not intended to teach Java.
It is designed to provide a practical way to become familiar with BlueJ
using example source code from Cay Horstmann’s Java textbooks, Big Java
and Computing Concepts with Java Essentials, both published by John
Wiley and Sons. Using BlueJ and the Big Java source code examples You will find all of the Big Java source code examples on this CD. They are formatted as BlueJ projects and should be ready to be compiled and run. Each project contains a readme file (which can be opened in BlueJ) that provides any hints needed to use this particular project. Note: These projects
need to be copied from the CD on to your computer to enable them to be
compiled and run, as Java and BlueJ will need to be able to write files
to the directories in which these projects are stored. Cay
