Java Tools

Java Tools is a simple utility that helps users create, compile and execute Java applications and applets by delivering all the packages necessary for these operations.

There is no need to go through an installation process, but Java is required on the system in order to launch the application window. The development kit (JDK) has to be available as well.

When launched, the installer for Java Tools prompts the user to select the paths for Java, file downloads, the installation directory and the browser command. Initiating the procedure warns that its completion may take several minutes. All the actions performed during the operation are listed in the installer’s interface.

Java Tools brings to the table a minimalist and straightforward interface that should not take too long to grasp to an experienced user. Basically, what is unpackaged is a lightweight IDE (integrated development environment) for Java programming.

Working with the suite is not for the inexperienced user but with proper guidance they can end up creating their first Java application. The developer provides documentation on how to reach the first step.

The instructions are quite clear and start with the basics, which is to create, compile and execute a “Hello World” application. Additional information instructs the user on creating, compiling and executing their first applet.

Java Tools is a collection of utilities that can help users with programming in Java. The more experienced are offered a more comfortable environment for working on their projects while beginners are initiated through the steps of creating their first application and applet.
