Compiling Java
Hello, I'm an old Visual Basic programmer in Windows and I have since transitioned to an iMac, now I'm giving Netbeans a shot. So, I have two new worlds I'm trying to absorb. Here are my questions.
After compiling the project, in a mac I can double click the .jar or run it in a terminal window. How would you run the .jar in Windows?
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 built on Java EE 5. I see references on JDK. What is it and do I need it to deploy an application?
Lastly, I'm interested in programming network orientated projects. Small point to point chat, displaying SYSlog info from Routers UDP broadcast, ect.... being new and not knowing where to start can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

JDK = Java Development Kit which has all the standard Java classes compiler and JVM
JRE = Java Runtime Environment which basically has the JVM which is need to execute your program.
So end user will need the equivalent JRE to that which your program was developed in.

Sorry, can't help here. But you should be able to Google or search Sun's website for a tutorial.
