SESSION 4 Part5
Installing an Integrated Development Environment

So,
Go and download
NetBeans from
the internet,
and install it.

Ummm…

What does
install' mean?
 



This morooon

I'm not a

morooon, or a
melooon, or a
marliiin, or a
miriiin, or…

Ohhhh!

 


Heh, did you only
just figure it out?

Last time,
you just completed
a bunch of 'm' words!
You…
You got me…


Is that what it was…
Shock!


Now then,
That's enough teasing of
Mulan here, shall we install a
development environment?

Follow the instructions,
download the required files,
and install them.


Ehehe
Ah!

I understand the word
download!
……


Download and install instructions (current at 2014/01/13)
Download the files needed for development.
The following three are the files that you need to download.
 (They can all be obtained for free.)
1. Java Development Kit (JDK) (includes Java Runtime (JRE))
2. NetBeans IDE
3. JavaDoc Java SE Document (Java instructions)
 
Instructions for Windows Users
1. Download the Java Development Kit (JDK) and the NetBeans IDE
1  Go to the Java related download page at Oracle.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

2 Download the file which includes both the Java Development Kit (JDK)
and NetBeans.
(Both can be installed at the same time with this single file.)

Click on the following item.
(The version may differ depending on the time. Please install the latest version.)

Download the file which includes both the Java Development Kit (JDK)

* Note: when Java itself is updated, you may not be able to download
the above file.

(The file seems to be updated roughly 1-2 weeks after the regular Java update.)
In that situation, please either wait until it is updated, or download it from the NetBeans community site.(Java is also included with NetBeans.)

NetBeans Community Site: http://netbeans.org/

3 When you click you will be taken to the download page.

If you accept the licence,
put a check mark next to 'Accept License Agreement',
and download jdk-XX-nb-X_X-windows-XXX.exe. (The Xs will be numbers.)

In that situation, you can do the same thing instead with the online document (web page) setup,
so please use that. In that situation you do not need to download the ZIP file.
(Available with NetBeans 7 and up.)

The online document setup method will be explained later in the IDE setup step.
For now, please move to the next step.
 
3. Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) and NetBeans itself
1

2
Follow the instructions on the screen to install.
 
Please note the following points.
* The version you are using may be different.
1. Install the JUnit (a testing tool)
Will not be used in these sessions.
It doesn't matter whether you install it or not.
2. Check for updates
Please allow it to check.The plugins are up-to-date online.
3. On the 'Setup Complete' screen
There will be a check mark next to
"Contribute to the NetBeans project by providing anonymous usage data".
If you don't want to provide your information, please remove the check mark.
 
  Please refer to this page for details of the install method.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/install-jdk6-22nb691-177131.html
NetBeans itself can also be downloaded from the development community page.
http://netbeans.org/
 
With that, installation is complete.
 
Notes
In these sessions we will primarily be using only the basic functions,
which don't really have any relation to any differences in the versions of Java (JDK)
and the IDE.
Please install the latest versions. (There will be no problems if you have JDK 6 or
above and NetBeans 6 or above.)
These sessions were written using Java 6 (JDK 6) and NetBeans 6.
(This was because these were the versions when we started writing the sessions.
We use 6 up until SESSION 13.)

Operation verification in current sessions is also done using JDK 7 and NetBeans 7,
however there doesn't appear to be any major differences. (Please understand
there may be minor differences in item names and noted locations.)
We intend to make notes of differences in versions where possible.

Well then,
this time we'll end it here.

Next time,
we'll be looking at the
basics of programming.

Woohoo!
At last!


Thank you so much!
I'm looking forward to
next time.

 
 
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is software which helps with development
By using an IDE,you can carry out development quickly and easily.

From here on we will be learning by using NetBeans IDE.
 
Terms for today
IDE GUI
JDK CUI
JavaDoc Command Prompt
 
Please try out various different IDEs if you have the opportunity.
