Activity 1 ?Installing jdk1.3 and TextPad 4.5

To use TextPad on your machine for editing, compiling and executing Java programs, you will need to install both the TextPad software and the JDK (Java Development Kit) from the Global Campus Installation CD-ROM. Follow these steps: 

(i) The JDK is installed first. When you are prompted for a Destination Folder, note the name of the folder. On the standard installation it is \jdk1.3 . Remember also the disk volume (e.g. C: or D:). For this tutorial we will use D:\jdk1.3 as the JDK folder. 

(ii) Now save the JAVA DOCUMENTATION onto the same disk volume as the JDK folder. Again, make a note of the folder path and name. 

(iii) Now you are ready to install TextPad. Follow the instructions on the CD-ROM and/or the WebCT Bulletin Board for this module.
