Installing Java Software

First of all you have to install the Java software . You can download the Java software from www.java.com. After you finish the installation you may need to adjust your PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables. Instructions are included with the JDK.I put all of my stuff into a directory called java (off of my root, C:\, in Windows and off of my home directory in unix). On my windows machine, my PATH includes

"C:\j2sdk1.4\BIN;C:\j2sdk1.4\JRE\BIN".

and my CLASSPATH is set to

".;C:\JAVA" (notice the dot before the first semicolon)
