Do I have BDK installed? How to test?
Hi,
I am learning JAVA2 with fedora9 installed on my computer. I need to use java beans and for that i need to have BDK installed. Can anybody tell me how to test if I have that installed. If 'yes' how to get started with it... If 'no' how to install it... thanks in advance.. chayan |
I suggest to check the SUN site for documentation or just install the NetBeans IDE. I installed NetBeans IDE a few weeks ago which installed everything needed along with it, and I'm not aware of any missing components that way.

Hi -
Actually, the "BDK" is Ancient History. It's obsolete. You don't need it, you don't want it. AngTheo789 is correct: NetBeans is all you need. Or Eclipse. Or simply the command-line JDK. WARNING: Please be sure you're using the Sun Java Development kit. Often, "GJC" (Gnu Java) is installed by default. That can cause problems. If you have Gjc, I would de-install it (at least until you become familiar with Sun's Java). And I would definitely download and install Sun Java (which you can get bundled along with the NetBeans IDE) from here: http://java.sun.com 'Hope that helps .. PSM |
Ok,
I understood. I was actually following the book "Complete Reference to JAVA2 (5th edition)" by Herbert Schildt and it treats JavaBeans with great importance. Anyway can anybody suggest me a book for learning Java that would help me learning not only the language but its real life applications (like how to develop softwares, simple games etc.)... thanks.. chayan |
WROX (http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/) has several good books about IT, with many titles regarding JAVA. I suggest you check out their publications and make your choice.
