Re: [ jEdit-users ] FW: Help with install

[Tom G. <tg...@we...>]

Hi Andrew,

You probably do not want to hear this but I just installed JDK 1.4.2
on a clients Windoze2000 workstation and then jEdit without any issues.
As you suspect... It looks like you have an underlying Java runtime/jdk issue.
Don't go back to jdk 1.3. The latest 1.4 release should work properly.

What do you get when you run "java -version".

Try running of the demo apps that come with the jdk (If you installed them)

cd c:\jsdk1.4.2\demo\jfc\Notepad.jar (or wherever you installed the jdk)
java -jar Notepad.jar

If that does not go, try...
saving the following code to a file called "HelloWorld.java"

public class HelloWorld
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
     System.out.println("Hello Unfriendly Windoze World");
   }
}

Compile it with
   javac HelloWorld.java
Try running it with
   java HelloWorld
