Installing the Java 2 SDK

JCreator integrates with the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) for much of its work. You should install the SDK before you install JCreator so that it is able to set its directory paths correctly during setup

1. Download the Java 2 Standard Edition Software Development Kit J2SE v 1.4.2_05 SDK
   • Choose the third version (the Standard Edition) in the middle of the page: The J2SE SDK. While the Netbeans and the J2EE would probably work, they are overkill for the simple CS 110-111 programs we will develop. The JRE version only contains the runtime interpreter and will not work.
   • Download the Windows Offline Installation, Multilanguage version of the SDK and save it to your desktop.
   • The SDK installation file is a large file (51MB) and the download can take awhile, even with a fast Internet connection.
2. After the download is complete, run the installation file to install the Java 2 SDK. I usually accept all the default values during installation.
3. You will prompted to restart your computer to complete the installation.
