Getting Started with Application PE 8 on a Windows box

Hello,

I just donwloaded and loaded Application PE 8 on a Windows box.

The tutorial seems nice, as long as you want to just use a "Sample".

I want to create my own class, call it ThingAMaBobbette, compile it into an application and run it! Simple enough, no?

I am odviously new to Java, but I need help.

I tried javac, and got the " error in opening zip file" when I ran javac from the c:\sun\appserver\jdk\bin directory.

So I copied javac to the c:\sun\appserver\bin directory and ran it from there. Then I got the Exception in threa "main" error.

I just want to compile and run my class..ThingAMaBobbette. Where are there a clear set of instructions for someone just starting out to do such a complex thing as compiling and running their own classes?

Thanks for any help you might have.

Steve
