This section provides a tutorial example on how to download and install JDK 1.6.2 (Java SE 1.6 Update 2) on a Windows XP system. A simple Java program was entered, compiled, and executed with the new JDK installation.
Downloading and installing JDK 1.6.2 (Java SE 1.6 Update 2) on a Windows system is easy. Here is what I did on my Windows XP system in year 2008:
To test the installation, open a command window to try the java command. If you are getting the following output, your installation was ok:
C:\>\progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\java -version java version "1.6.0_02" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b06, mixed mode, sharing)
Once JDK is installed, you can try to use it to compile and execute a simple Java program:
1. Use Notepad to enter the following Java program into a file called Hello.java:
class Hello { public static void main(String[] a) { System.out.println("Hello world!"); } }
2. Then compile this program in a command window with the javac command:
progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\javac Hello.java
3. To execute the program, use the java command:
progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\java -cp . Hello Hello world!
Congratulations, you have successfully entered, compiled and executed your first Java program with JDK 1.6.2.
