Welcome to this presentation on Installation of Java development Kit !. As a beginner in Java, it took me few days to discover the basics of java installation. I prepared this presentation to save reader’s precious time in understanding the setup of jdk, PATH and CLASSPATH variables. Note that the scope of this presentation is J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition 5.0) only and does not include J2EE(Java 2 Enterprise Edition).
This presentation guides you through the step by step procedure to download and install Java SDK (also called JDK) on a windows machine. After following the steps given in this presentation you would know how to compile and run programs using Java.Java SDK installation is helpful only if you wish to code using java. For running java applications, Java Run time environment (JRE) is sufficient. This presentation would have served its purpose if you are able to run your java programs using command prompt at the end of going through the slides. This presentation also shows the screenshots of all the steps required for installing java development kit on windows.
