You need, of course, the jdk. Go to java.sun.com and download the jdk (follow the jse links). While you are there go through all the basic tutorials before coming back with another question.

Also, do not mark a post as urgent. It only turns people away. It is not urgent to them. They are reading and answering these posts on their own time. Also, before posting a question, use the API documentations, the Sun tutorials, and Google generously before you post a question. When you then do post a question, tell us clearly and concisely what the problem is, and what you have already done to try and solve. Then include an example code that is small, and reproduces the problem. Doing this last step, will many times allow you to solve the problem yourself.

I was feeling extremely generous this morning (maybe its because I'm ill and so am not thinking straight), and already gave him that advice anyway. But you're right, all these "urgent" posts tick me off. No one ever seems to realize that these questions are answered by people doing it on their time. They always seem to think they are only their to serve them.

They are... and after a while, people tends to get anoyed when "we who are always here" do not answer their questions within 5 minutes.

I left this forum about 1 year ago when I started to recieve "complains" about me not anwsering... but now I'm back. :D

I wonder how long it will take some of you oldies in here to figure out what my old nick was... ;-)
