CS100J QuickStart Guide to Eclipse (pdf)

Downloads (download and install the Java stuff first so that Eclipse can find it)

• Eclipse 3.3 (http://www.eclipse.org) for Windows, or Mac OSX, or Linux (x86/GTK 2)
• Java 1.6.0_01 (JDK 6u1 from http://java.sun.com) for Windows (local copy is here),
  or Mac download site or Mac instructions and local Mac OSX download (release 1, apple developer site at http://developer.apple.com/java/),
  or Linux (x86/GTK 2), local copy.
  If you're using a Mac and would prefer not to use beta software, then there's no problem using java 1.5 (jdk1.5r4) from the regular Mac site.
• Java Documentation (html, downloadable) and Java API mega-useful!!!

Notes (mostly pdf)

• Thursday 23rd July (zipped java files from class focussing on building a binary search tree for Strings).
• Monday-Tuesday 14-15th July (the continuing example from class building a bookshop with books, cashier queues, people, and using lists and queues).
• Wednesday-Friday 9-11th July (discussion of interfaces, queues, and lists).
• Tuesday 8th July (the example from class on parsing a file containing matrix data, with matrix.txt (the file with the matrices in) and IntMatrix.java (a class to hold a matrix).
• Monday 7th July (lecture was a blackboard discussion of how to go about designing a hierarchy of classes for an Economy simulation).
• Thursday 3rd July (the example from class on banking with 'inheritance'), with GRQ.java (has the main method) and Savings.java (inherits from BankAcc.java).
• Wednesday 2nd July (more on classes and inheritance)
• Tuesday 1st July (building your own classes).
• Monday 30th June (one and two dimensional arrays).
• Friday 27th June (the String manipulation program from today). You might also like to look at Thursday.java, another method laden program.
• Thursday 26th June (methods, reference types, Strings, arrays and exceptions) -- also still on the 'prettified' notes -- and today's method laden cleanup.
• Wednesday 25th June Part 1 (IDEs, primitive types, arithmetic, logic, loops and conditionals) -- also still covered on 'prettified' notes -- and Part 2 (an example program, with error checking) and goofy.java, the enhancement of Monday's program, and finally Arithmetic.java.
  
• Tuesday 24th June Part 1 (an example program, hiThere.java, with error checking) and ouchy.txt and amazing.txt, the two files referred to in the program.
  
• Monday 23rd June  Part 1 (intro to JavaThink and input/output) -- prettier typed version is here -- and Part 2 (a simple program to demonstrate I/O) and goofy.java, a short program to illustrate the ideas.
