Introduction to JDK
The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software development environment used for
developing Java applications.
It includes a complete set of tools needed to develop Java programs, such as the
Java Runtime Environment (JRE), an interpreter/loader (Java), a compiler (javac), an
archiver (jar), a documentation generator (javadoc), and other tools.
Installation of JDK
1. Download JDK:
- Visit the official Oracle website or OpenJDK website.
- Select the appropriate version and operating system.
2. Run the Installer:
- Follow the installation wizard steps.
3. Verify Installation:
- Open Command Prompt or Terminal.
- Run `java -version` and `javac -version` to ensure installation is successful.
Setting Up IDE (Eclipse/IntelliJ)
1. Eclipse IDE:
- Download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from the Eclipse website. https://eclipseide.org/
- Install Eclipse and launch the application.
- Configure workspace and create a new Java project.
2. IntelliJ IDEA:
- Download IntelliJ IDEA from the JetBrains website.
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/?section=windows
- Install IntelliJ IDEA and set up a new Java project.
- Explore features like code completion, debugging, and project management.
Configuring Environment
Variables
1. Windows:
- Open System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
- Add `JAVA_HOME` variable pointing to the JDK installation directory.
- Modify `PATH` variable to include `%JAVA_HOME%\bin`.
2. macOS/Linux:
- Open Terminal and edit shell profile (e.g., `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`).
- Add `export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk` and `export
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH`.
- Reload the profile with `source ~/.bash_profile` or `source ~/.zshrc`.
Writing a Simple Java Program
1. Write the Code:
DO IT YOURSELF!
public class HelloWorld {
Write a program to print “I am
public static void main(String[] args) {
a Software Developer” using
System.out.println("Hello, World!"); java.
}
}
2. Run the Program:
- Compile and run the `HelloWorld` class in
your IDE.
