Hints and Tips for Mac Users for Java 101
------------------------------------------

Setup
------


1. Download and install a JDK from:

  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

  Any recent version should be fine, but be sure to get
  the JDK, not the JRE. Note the version number for the
  next step.

2. Open Terminal from your Applications folder and test
   the Java installation:

  java -version

  You should see the version you downloaded.

3. Download and install the Eclipse IDE for Java EE
   Developers from:

  http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

  Be sure to get the IDE for "Java EE Developers", not
  the one for just "Java Developers". Probably best to
  get the 64-bit version.

  Expand the downloaded archive to your Applications
  folder.

  Test the installation by running Eclipse from the
  Applications folder.

4. Download and install the Student Archive from:

  http://www.descriptor.com/setupguides/intro-java/setup/eclipse-indigo/javaclass.zip

  Expand the downloaded archive to your home folder. You should
  end up with a folder named "javaclass" in your home folder.
