Installing Java on a Windows system.

  1. Download the Java SDK file under J2SE v 1.4.2_02 for Windows.
  2. Run the file that you just downloaded. This will install the Java tools that you will need on your computer.
  3. Download JCreator LE (Free edition).
  4. Unzip JCreator.
  5. Install the JCreator setup.
  6. When you run JCreator for the first time it will ask you the location of Java SDK. This can be found at c:\j2sdk1.4.2_02 if you used the default settings.

If you cannot find the Java SDK try uninstalling it and JCreator start over at step one. If everything installs but you cannot compile with JCreator do the following:

  1. In JCreator go to the Configure menu.
  2. Choose Options.
  3. Click JDK Profiles on the left hand side of the Options window.
  4. Click New... on the right hand side of the Profiles window.
  5. Browse to the location of your SDK installation and click on the folder and click OK. The folder name will be as it is in step 6 above or will be where you installed it if you did not use the default settings.
  6. Click OK again on the JDK Profiles window that pops up.

This should solve the problem.
