[very simple] What should I do after download java package
Hi all,
I have only 2 hrs experience on java so far. I am now trying to create an eye tracking system using webcam, so I find out an example from http://timcam.sourceforge.net/ . I use Netbeam open a signal file from the zip folder which I download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/timcam/ .***Q1. I could not find any project folder in the zip file, what is the extension of the project file? If I don't have a project, what I should do? ***Q2. I open *.java file from the folder using netbeam, I think there is some API which my netbeam don't have. I download the " JSR-000231 Java Bindings for the OpenGL API Evaluation 1.0 Final". However, I don't see any *.exe file and I don't know what should I do with that API folder. Please help

From your description, it sounds like this is quite an ambitious project. Are you sure that you have enough programming and Java knowledge to tackle it? From the questions that you have, it sounds like you need to learn more about Java. See this tutorial if that's the case:

This is way beyond you if you've only got 2 hours with Java.

There probably isn't a project file. This isn't Microsoft Visual Studio.

Create a NetBeans project according to its docs.

NetBeans should be able to open a .java file.

What do you need OpenGL for?You're just trying to open a .java file.
This sounds like it's all way over your head. Start with "Hello World". Google for a Java tutorial.

Thanks for your reply. I use Labview, Matlab most of my time. But this project has to be using java. I understand I don't have enough java experierence, the main problem is to understand java enivorment. The link you give me is very very good starting up. I hope I can finish the project by the coming WED. haha! Is not easy to accomplish. The signal prcoessing part is easy for me, the challenge part is to use Java for interface. ................
