Java Development Kit and BlueJ

[sc0ttman]

BlueJ is a simple IDE for java ... really simple, aimed at beginners of java..

Using BlueJ, it is very easy to create a new Java project, create classes and compile it all up into a working java package.

BlueJ is used in many UK universities, to teach numpties like me how to code in Java.



It requires JDK (the Java Development Kit)..

I have packages both of them up, and they are available here:

http://akita.scottjarvis.com/bluej-310-i486-akita.pet (12mb, a4d5caa69990247e8d5ca7490bb96a79)

These PETs should work in most pups..

This seems to work in LazY Puppy, so it should work also in a Lucid.

But the Java has a wrong entry in its .desktop file:

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_30/bin/jcontrol

Real path of file is:

Code: Select all

/usr/java/jre/bin/jcontrol

where jre is a symbolic link to jdk/jre

Do you have some project files to load into BlueJ, to have an easy start of using/learning BlueJ?

Thanks for JDK and the IDE shown in the opening post.

Here is a reference to others who are looking for IDEs which make it easy to create JAVA applications for any needs or any appliances.

The Grandaddy of them all which embraces Linux, Unix, Windows, Androids and Apples is the eClipse IDE. Using it, you can ensure that an app which is created can be created to adhere to each of these individual platforms.

Hope this helps
