ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I'm a first year programming student, so bear with me on this one.
I've been programming on Windows (JCreater) because that's what we mostly use in class. However, I wanted to try writing a program on Linux this time to see what it's like. So far, it's been going very smoothly compared to Windows (as you might expect), except javac/gij cannot seem to find the Scanner class:
Code:
*** Semantic Error: Type "Scanner" was not found.
I made sure that I had "import java.util.*;" in my file. So, what's wrong?
You might want to install the Sun's JDK instead of gcj-java. gcj-java is still very bad and as far as I know, it does not support Java 5 (and I think the Scanner is a Java 5 feature).
No problems vmlinuz.gz . I'm sure gcj will catch up though. Open-source projects are developed at amazing steps. I keep my fingers crossed for gcj though. Java is my preffered programming language, but I dislike it's portability (it will run only where Sun wants it to run, for example). If gcj reaches an usable stage, java could be used more widely, from operating systems such as BeOS up to, who knows, game/consoles programming.
However, the way gcj is today, it's better to stick with Sun Java SDK though :\ (but still keep an eye on gcj progresses )
Best of luck!
