Anybody know about this? I went there to download it, clicked on the mirror for Florida, its ftp, not http,

 

This pops up, where do I go from here? Nothing downloaded, just has these folders, etc..

 

ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/eclipse/eclipse/

Here's where I went:

ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.0.1-200409161125/

 

Once there download the

eclipse-platform-SDK-3.0.1-win32.zip

 

You can probably take it from there.

 

One note about the Eclipse project - they are making new builds continually. The builds, or "drops", with an R in the front are the stable, "end user release" releases. You want those - the other ones are more raw, though newer, haven't been thru full testing.

On eclipse I am making the Hello World, using the tutorial. I came to a spot that says

 

In the public static void main, method, add the following, System.out.ptintln("HelloWorld!") and save your changes, then click continue.

 

What/Where is the public static void main?

[fush]

main is a method. public and static are access modifiers for the method and void the the return type for the method.

[Browning]

Sodo you have any idea what I need to do, first time using this stuff.

[burgels]

write this:

 

public static void main(String[] args){

System.out.println("Hello World!");

}

 

Save, compile, and run.

[fush]

If you are programming hello world in java it would look something like this

 

class HelloWorld {

public static void main( String[] args ) {

System.out.println( "Hello World!" );

}

}

 

I probabally wouldn't use the eclipse tutorial to try and learn java but thats just me.

[Browning]

Where dWhere do I put it though, thats my problem. I see nothing that says public static etc...

[burgels]

You have to create a new class in your project and then type that code into the editor. It won't already be there, you have to type it in.

 

+1 on not using the eclipse tutorial to learn java. Go to www.javaranch.com. A lot of good info on there to help you get started learning about it.

[burgels]

Specifically, go here:

Follow closely, it will help you get started.

I did make a new class, HelloWorld.

[Browning]

When I hit print screen, where does it save at? Ill do that then post the picture and you can tell me where to put it, cool?

[burgels]

It saves it to your clipboard. You'll have to paste it into an image editor of some kind, such as paint.

[Browning]

Best I could do.

[burgels]

right under the line where it says "public class HelloWorld(){" cut and paste the code that I posted above into that spot. Then it should look pretty similar to what fush posted above.

[Browning]

Cool, Thanks man!

[Browning]

Now I have this, but for some reason I think its not right.

 

public class HelloWorld {public static void main( String[] args ) {

System.out.println( "Hello World!" );

}

}

 

 

}
