Ok, some of you people have been having some trouble getting Java. So, I present this step-by-step guide for y'all!

1. Get eclipse. Go to

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads.

Your screen should now look like this:

Now, click here:

Got that? Good. Now, click on the link that says this:

[United States] TDS Internet Services (http)

(Actually, I suppose I could have copied that link in here in the first place....)

Anyway, ignore the little save file window, and go to your desktop. It should look a little like this:

Now right click on the desktop and create a new folder. Name it: 'Eclipse'. Now pull up the little save window and click 'OK.' Drag the little folder into the one you just made. Open it, and open the little folder inside it labeled 'Eclipse.' Your screen should now look like this:

Good. Now, click on 'eclipsec', and click: 'Extract all.' Make the sestination in the folder you made. Wait for 3 minutes or so, and open the folders. Click on the application 'Eclipse'. You now have it open!

2. Click on 'OK' when it creates a workspace. Your main window should now look like this:

Click on 'Workbench' on the top-right corner. Screen should now look like nya:

Click on the 'New' button's (at the top-left) arrow and click 'Java Project.' Name it whatever you please. Check 'Create seperate folders for sources and class files', under 'Project layout'. Then click 'Finish.' Collapse your project's folder so it looks like this:

 Right click next to 'src', and go to 'new', then select 'class'. Name it something simple, like 'class'. Screen should now look like this:

Now, this part is important. Type exactly this into the program, so it looks like this:

public class Class {
   
    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main (String[] args) {
       
    }

Now, between the two brackets, type in:

System.out.println("Message.");

so it looks like this:

public class Class {
   
    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Message");
    }

Now add another bracket to the bottom, so it looks like this:

  /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Message");
    }

}

Now click the little play button at the top. Look at the bottom, and you'll see your message in the console.

Yay! Please do this, it took me forever to write it! If you ask, I might post another lesson.
