Week One Install #2

Open kevynlabbe opened 8 years ago

kevynlabbe commented 8 years ago

Hello everyone, When installing the JRE and JDK I had not problems. I just went to Oracle and downloaded the needed software. While I did not have any problems I did find that my Java Runtime Environment was outdated. I also downloaded Eclipse without any issues. But I do have a question. Considering the JRE and JDK are from Oracle why are we using Eclipse and not NetBeans? Not that I have a preference but I am wondering if Eclipse has some advantages that NetBeans does not. I have used both and like each. This is a question of only curiosity not preference. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Kevyn M. Labbe

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

Kevyn, your point is a very good one. NetBeans is very well excepted an academic environments. Eclipse is a standard in professional environments, so I believe we can get you a little bit more employability by using it now. The use of eclipse is no more nor less complex than net beans. I will admit the NetBeans is a better environment to learn Java for web development, though.

Eclipse is so widely accepted across the industry that i use it work, then I turn around and teach it to you guys. Thanks for being a good sport about it

Hello everyone!

I had a question regarding what to download: should we download Java 7 or 8?

Thank you! Best, Kaveh

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

Either will work, eight is what I've been using for a while. Might want to check a requirements for eclipse, before doing so

I had no issues installing the latest JRE JDK and Eclipse (64bit) on windows 7.

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

Jeremy, I am very glad to hear that. What did you install, and in what order? Since I am a Macintosh person, did you install the JDK first, then the jre?

Hello everyone. I downloaded Eclipse, JRE, and JDK on Windows 10.

Is this the correct JRE? Server JRE (Java SE Runtime Environment) 8u72

Is this the correct JDK? Java SE Development Kit 8u72

Thanks for any help. Dustin.

Irfan009 commented 8 years ago

Hi Everyone , I'm using latest version of Eclipse on Mac OS X 10.9.4. Whenever I try to open the Eclipse it says "version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product, version 1.7 or greater is required". I installed java 7 (JRE, I don't need JDK) but still I'm getting the same error. I tried looking it up but some of the solutions available online are not very helpful... please advice . Thank you in advance! Irfan Awan

I installed JRE, JDK, and Eclipse on my work Surface Pro for mobility reasons but everything is so small and the keyboard is somewhat limited. I then installed everything on my Mac at home and had much better results. Are there potential issues from installing JRE before JDK or vice versa? Thanks

This is the latest and greatest build on eclipse, perfect

Superb question. Installing jre first is the best, because it enables eclipse to run. However, it is best to install JDK after the jre, before eclipse. This way, eclipse will find the JDK where it expects to find it… Hope this is not too complex

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

This is a good exercise to do. Google for "update Java on Mac OS" to see how to get from Java 1.6 to 1.7.

I was able to install the the JRE and JDK without issues on my desktop which runs on Windows 7. I do have one question though, on the download page for the JDK there are two different options as seen in this picture capture Is there any difference between the two?

I have also installed Eclipse with success as well, but it showed me this install option eclipse Wasn't sure which to choose, so I chose the first option.

WesleyTo commented 8 years ago

Hello! Glad to see everyone is getting through the install without major problems.

I already had everything installed on my Mac and Windows 7 machines. I just updated everything to the latest versions and all is well.

I look forward to the rest of the semester and wish everyone well in the course!

giangth1989 commented 8 years ago

hello everyone!

I had some problems when i installed JRE on win 7 but i solved it. So far everything works well.

Nice to meet everyone. -Giangth

Irfan009 commented 8 years ago

Hi Mr.Bund, I was able to fix the issues , Eclipse is installed and running now, Thanks for your help. ~Irfan

JVerlenich commented 8 years ago

Hi!

When I first downloaded and installed the JRE and JDK I accidentally installed the 32-bit version. Eclipse kept refusing to install until I backtracked and realized that. Everything runs fine now!

-Jordan

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

You were correct. The java ee is for web development, which is something you can begin to learn after this course.

Hi everyone,

I installed JDK and JRE 8u73 on OS X El Capitan. I'm not sure if JDK already includes JRE though, and if JRE is already installed by OS X by default. I also installed "Eclipse IDE for Java developers". I was able to launch it without any problem.

ghost commented 8 years ago

I have some issues installing JRE, JDK, and Eclipse IDE. I was choosing the wrong operating system. I first chose 32 bit-version which did not work. I had to double check my operating system through control panel and realized that I needed the 64 version. I now finished the installing successfully and able to launch the program.

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

Great question here. JDK and jre are independent of each other. Jre is responsible for running java applications, but JDK is the building blocks for programmers to use. Hence their independence. But you can see why eclipse needs them both 🤓

Awesome. Good job with troubleshooting. I can see how the eclipse installation is reasonable, but working with Java's website is a tricky business

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my late reply this week! I was in the midst of moving and had little access to the internet and even my own computer. I will ideally be more active as the semester goes along. I am also taking a Coursera course on Java programming to supplement this course so hopefully I can help with questions!

I have installed JRE 8u73, JDK 8u73, and finally Eclipse. My OS is Mac OSX. The process was very straight-forward and simple. I am hoping I won't run into issues because I had previously installed Java 7. I may need to check with all this in the future, but hopefully everything will work just fine.

One logistic question regarding course work: "then submit to our dropbox for week 1 discussions. "

Where do we find the dropbox for the course, and specifically week 1?

Thank you everyone; looking forward to an exciting semester!

stefanbund commented 8 years ago

I will be putting this online this evening after the Super Bowl sometime. Thanks again for your posts. I look forward to reading more from you. Glad, also that your install went well

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I have no problem when trying to install the program. It was straight forward because Eclipse won't be able to installed until I installed JRE and JDK. When I tried to install Eclipse first, it guided me to the other 2.

Hello everyone,

I have had JRE, JDK, and Eclipse on my laptop already. I did not have to install again.

Have a nice semester everyone,

Hello, I have installed JRE, JDK, and Eclipse (64-bit) on my computer running windows 7. Eclipse is running and everything seems to be working. This is the my first time using a programming software and I am a little nervous, but excited to learn. I have no previous knowledge of any coding or java.
