Java Tutorial Part1-Setting Up The Java Development Environment

This is the first step we need to take before starting on our journey. Set up the

Java Development Environment. Java programs run inside the
JVM(Java Virtual Machine). Java compiler(javac) converts Java programs into an
intermediate bytecode format called class files, which is platform independent.

The latest JDK can be downloaded from the following link:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html

Download the 32/62 bit version of the JDK for your OS(Linux, Windows or Mac) and follow the installation instructions .

Once the installation completes successfully, we are ready for the next step.
