What do i need to run simple java programme?
to be enable to run a java program u need to install the JVM its free


u can find it on sun microsystems web site or from the java website

and after installing the JVM


open the console window and type the following in order to compile the class





javac your Class Name.java


then press enter and type the following and the class will run





java your Class Name





u can also download java IDE's





Eclipse


JBulider


sun studio


websphere


Net Beans





search on google for these editors some of them are free such as eclipse





using the editors u can compile and run the java class without opening the console ;)
Reply:eclipse is somewhat popular, but a bit of a resource hog.
