Java NIO Class Path

MadHatter21 · 07-28-2009, 09:06 AM

Hi,

I am running a mac computer for all of my java programming needs, and i have come to a snag trying to learn the new tutorial on java.sun.com about the new NIO class called "Path". The JDK 7 is out for windows linux solaris, etc. Mac doesnt have anything for the JDK 7 yet so i was wondering what everyone else was doing on mac without jdk7, Anything would help.

Thanks

Create a Linux VM (VBox, VMWare, etc) you can run on your Mac?

Hi -

1. Create VM

2. Install Ubuntu

3. Install JDK (several alternatives, consult java.sun.com or LQ for tips)

4. Install Eclipse (usually, simple filecopy/extract)

5. Start Eclipse (it should usually auto-detect your JDK; you can also configure default - and alternate - JDK's from the Eclipse IDE)

'Hope that helps .. PSM
