Workshop: Java Setup

• Use Terminal or CMD or other command line interface

  • Windows, Mac, Linux = OK

  • Android, IOS = very awkward or impossible

  • SSH = ok for this program but won't work in the future (or can use X Windows)

  • Work in pairs, pair with someone who has laptop in class

• Make sure java is running on your machine

  • If necessary, see the Java Resources and Downloads section on Canvas

• Then, download and run one of the Java shape programs from the lecture examples and/or write a short command line Hello World program of your own.

• Modify the program to try out some Java features you think might be useful to you (like inheritance and polymorphism).
