Introduction to Java programming
Skill Level: Introductory
IBM
19 Nov 2004
The Java language, and the ever-growing Java platform, have revolutionized
programming. The goal of this tutorial is to introduce you to the Java syntax you're
most likely to encounter professionally, and to expose you to idioms that will help you
avoid trouble. Follow along with Java professional Roy Miller as he guides you
through the essentials of Java programming, including the OOP paradigm and how it
applies to Java programming; Java language syntax and use; creating objects and
adding behavior, working with collections, handling errors; and tips for writing better
code.
Section 1. About this tutorial
What's this tutorial about?
This tutorial introduces you to object-oriented programming (OOP) with the Java
language. The Java platform is a vast topic, so we won't cover it all here, but we'll
cover enough to get you started. A follow-up tutorial will offer further information and
guidance in your Java programming endeavors.
The Java language certainly has its friends and foes, but its impact on the software
development industry is undeniable. On the plus side, the Java language gives
programmers less rope to hang themselves with than C++. It removes some of the
more onerous programming tasks, like explicit memory management, and allows
programmers to focus on business logic. On the negative side, according to OO
purists, the Java language has too many non-OO remnants to make it a good tool.
Regardless of your position, however, knowing how to use the language as a tool
when it's the right tool for the job is a wise career choice.

The content of this tutorial is geared toward beginning Java programmers who might
not be familiar with OOP concepts, or with the Java platform specifically. It assumes
a general knowledge of downloading and installing software, and a general
knowledge of programming and data structures (like arrays), but doesn't assume
more than a cursory familiarity with OOP.
This tutorial will guide you through setting up the Java platform on your machine and
installing and working with Eclipse, a free integrated development environment
(IDE), to write Java code. From that point on, you'll learn the underpinings of Java
programming, including the OOP paradigm and how it applies to Java programming;
Java language syntax and use; creating objects and adding behavior, working with
collections, handling errors; and tips for writing better code. By the end of the
tutorial, you'll be a Java programmer -- a beginning Java programmer, but a Java
programmer nonetheless.
Software requirements
To run the examples or sample code in this tutorial, you'll need to have the Java 2
Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) , version 1.4.2 or higher, and the Eclipse IDE
installed on your machine. Don't worry if you don't have these packages installed yet
-- we'll show you how to do that in Getting started . All code examples in this tutorial
have been tested with J2SE 1.4.2 running on Windows XP. One of the beautiful
things about the Eclipse platform, however, is that it runs on almost any OS you're
likely to use, including Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and
even Mac OS X.
Section 2. Getting started
Installation instructions
In this next few sections, I'll walk you through each of the steps for downloading and
installing the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE), version 1.4.2, and the Eclipse
IDE. The former lets you compile and run Java programs. The latter gives you a
powerful and user-friendly way to write code in the Java language. If you already
have the Java SDK and Eclipse installed, feel free to skip to A brief Eclipse tour or to
the next section, OOP concepts , if you're comfortable jumping right in.
Install the Java SDK
The original intent of the Java language was to let programmers write a single
program that would run on any platform, an idea encapsulated by the catch-phrase
"Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA). In reality, it's not quite that simple, but it's

becoming easier. The various components of Java technology support that effort.
The Java platform comes in three editions, Standard, Enterprise, and Mobile (the
latter two for enterprise mobile device development). We'll be working with J2SE,
which includes all of the core Java libraries. All you need to do is download it and
install it.
To download the J2SE software development kit (SDK), follow these steps:
1. Open a browser and go to the Java Technology home page. In the top
middle of the page, you'll see links for various Java technology subject
areas. Select J2SE (Core/Desktop).
2. In the list of current J2SE releases, click on J2SE 1.4.2.
3. In the left navigation bar of the resulting page, click on Downloads.
4. There are several downloads on this page. Find and click the Download
J2SE SDK link.
5. Accept the conditions of the license and click Continue.
6. You'll see a list of downloads by platform. Chose the appropriate
download for whatever platform you're using.
7. Save the file to your hard drive.
8. When the download is complete, run the install program to install the SDK
on your hard drive, preferably in a well-named folder at the root of the
drive.
That's it! You now have a Java environment on your machine. The next step is to
install an integrated development environment (IDE).
Install Eclipse
An integrated development environment (IDE) hides lots of the mundane technical
details of working with the Java language, so you can focus on writing and running
code. The JDK you just installed includes several command-line tools that would let
you compile and run Java programs without an IDE, but using those tools quickly
becomes painful for all but the simplest programs. Using an IDE hides the details,
gives you powerful tools to help you program faster and better, and is simply a more
pleasant way to program.
It is no longer necessary to pay for an excellent IDE. The Eclipse IDE is an open
source project and is yours to download for free. Eclipse stores and tracks your Java
code in readable files stored on your file system. (You can use Eclipse to work with
code in a CVS repository as well.) The good news is that Eclipse lets you deal with
files if you want to, but hides the file details if you'd rather deal only with various Java
constructs like classes (which we'll discuss in detail later).

Downloading and installing Eclipse is simple. Follow these steps:
1. Open a browser and go to the Eclipse Web site.
2. Click the Downloads link on the left side of the page.
3. Click the Main Eclipse Download Site link to go to the Eclipse project
downloads page.
4. You'll see a list of build types and names. Click the 3.0 link.
5. In the middle of the page, you'll see a list of Eclipse SDKs by platform;
choose the one appropriate for your system.
6. Save the file to your hard drive.
7. When the download is complete, run the install program and install
Eclipse on your hard drive, preferably in a well-named folder at the root of
the drive.
All that's left now is to set up the IDE.
Set up Eclipse
To use Eclipse to write Java code, you must tell Eclipse where Java is located on
your machine. Follow these steps:
1. Launch Eclipse by double-clicking on eclipse.exe, or the equivalent
executable for your platform.
2. When the Welcome screen appears, click the Go To The Workbench
link. This takes you to what's known as the Resource perspective (more
on this later).
3. Click Window>Preferences>Installed JREs, which allows you to specify
where your Java environment is installed on your machine (see Figure 1).

4. Odds are good that Eclipse will find an installed Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), but you should explicitly point to the one you installed
in Install the Java SDK. You can do that in the Preferences dialog. If
Eclipse lists an existing JRE, click on it and press Edit; otherwise click
Add.
5. Specify the path to the JRE folder of the JDK you installed in Install the
Java SDK.
6. Click OK.
Eclipse is now set up to compile and run Java code. In the next section, we'll take a
brief tour of the Eclipse environment to familiarize you with the tool.
A brief Eclipse tour
Working with Eclipse is a large topic and mostly out of the scope of this tutorial. See
the Resources for links to more info on Eclipse. Here, we'll cover here just enough to
get you familiar with how Eclipse works, and how you can use it for Java
development.
Assuming that you still have Eclipse up and running, you left off looking at the
Resource perspective. Eclipse offers a set of perspectives on the code you write.
