Hey guys, I need to install BlueJ for my CSc class, but I dont know how to install it. It comes in a .jar files and the extraction contains a bunch of .class files. Thanx

I dont know...it actually doesnt even do anything. The terminal will pause for a second and then return a new input line.

Hey Experiencethis


BlueJ is available from www.bluej.org. Download the latest BlueJ version (currently 2.1.0) from their distribution page.

Run the installer by executing
java -jar bluej-212.jar

In the installer, select an installation directory and your JDK directory and install.

In the installed bluej directory, you will find a file named bluej. Execute this file to start BlueJ.

its weird, though, the installer never starts. it never does anything when i type that exact thing; no error messages or anything. Its just like i didnt type anything and hit enter


-edit

Ok i dont know what happened, but after I let the computer sit overnight and tried the same thing, the BlueJ installer popped up. hmmm...that was weird, well thanx once again guys.
