Java 2 SDK: HELP!!

Alright to first set the ground. This is my first language that i'm learning and i have Murach's Java 2 beginners book. Its the same one my dad acquired when he was learning it except the one i got didn't have the nifty little CD thing you could get the SDK off of. No, instead they give VERY vague directions on how to get the SDK 1.5. So i'm hopelessly lost in finding the right files to acquire this thing. I've floated about the site and its turned up fruitless. So can someone please help me find the SDK 1.5. I have windows 98 and also, deep mumbo jumbo about different file types, .bat, .exec, .bin i wont really understand (execpt .exec, it mean executable, yea!... heh) so if you could like dumb it down so me, a complete newb can possibly start working on my project.

Thanks and adue

If you want Java 1.5, you need at least Windwos 98 2nd Edition: [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html]Supported System Configurations[/url]. Then you can download it the [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp]JDK 5.0 Update 6[/url].

Java 1.4 also [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/system-configurations.html]supports Windows 98 1st Edition[/url]. Then download the [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html]J2SE SDK[/url].

Also download the documentation to have the Javadoc API. A very good Tutorial is also the [url=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html]Java Tutorial[/url].
