how do I get this compiler?

Question

So I got this awesome programming guide, but it's a little old. It wanted me to go into "Popular Downloads" in java.sun.com and click "Get the JDK 6 with NetBeans 5.5" but I can't find it anywhere. On my older computer I had tried downloading the newest version, but apparently they had changed some things. Just enough so the book is pretty much useless. Almost everything I typed was "wrong." Is there a way to still get this? Or should I just get another programming guide?

Answer 1

Java 6

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html



Netbeans 5.5

http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/dev.php?email=&monthly=1&contact=1&release_version=5.5&build_type_id=4



It should be noted that Oracle recommend you use the lastest release.

All code written for older versions of Java and Netbeans should work for the latest version, however there will be changes in the look and feel of Netbeans and some Java library methods may have been deprecated, replaced by another more suitable method.



Have fun.
