Here is the list of the frequently asked questions:

• Yes, we will use PRISM account to submit assignments and also to work on the labs. If you have difficulty setup your account, please consult the Lab Monitor at LAS1006A.

• Please use this page to submit your assignments
• Here is a guide on how to use the Submit system
• For Quizzes you should use command line to submit your saved Java files. Here is sample command to submit my_file.java for Quiz1 (e.g. Q1):

   /cs/local/bin/submit 2030 Q1 my_file.java 

• For missed assignments or midterm due to sickness, please send an email to course director stating “inability to write due to sickness”. The weight of the assignment or midterm will be transferred to the final exam.

• Please use EECS-ePost to find your marks.

How to get Java Standard Edition Development Kit (Java SE JDK):

• http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
• We simply call it JDK 8 (sometimes refer to as Java 1.8 or Java SE 1.8).
• Decompress the JDK which you have downloaded from Oracle website into a directory (or simply run the installer under Windows).

Java Documentations and a HelloWorld program:

• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html
• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/

Details for Java Application Programming Interface (Java API):

• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html

You need to set environmental variables for your Bash Shell (or Command Prompt in windows).

For windows, each time you open a command prompt you should run the below (or permanently apply via global environmental variables):

<code>
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program\ Files\Java\your_jdk_directory
SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
SET CLASSPATH=.;lib/*
</code>

For Unix and Linux systems, each time you open Bash shell you should run the below (or permanently apply via /etc/bash.bashrc):

<code>
export JAVA_HOME=/cs/home/your_username/your_jdk_directory
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
export CLASSPATH=".:lib/*"
</code>

If you are using EECS PRISM Lab, you can simply run the below commands to setup your environment

echo 'setenv JAVA_HOME /eecs/local/pkg/jdk-1.8.0_91' >> ~/.tcshrc
echo 'setenv GRADLE_HOME /eecs/local/pkg/gradle-2.13' >> ~/.tcshrc
echo 'setenv PATH ${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${GRADLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> ~/.tcshrc
echo 'setenv CLASSPATH ".:lib/*"' >> ~/.tcshrc
chmod +x ~/.tcshrc
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/eecs/local/pkg/jdk-1.8.0_91' >> .bashrc
echo 'export GRADLE_HOME=/eecs/local/pkg/gradle-2.13' >> .bashrc
echo 'export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${GRADLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> .bashrc
echo 'export CLASSPATH=".:lib/*"' >> .bashrc
chmod +x ~/.bashrc

Now create a file called HelloWorldApp.java that has the content below:

public class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!"); 
    }
}

• We can compile via running:

  javac HelloWorldApp.java

• We can run our program via

  java HelloWorldApp

You can use Putty or MobaXterm to connect to red.cse.yorku.ca

Here is a video on how to use MobaXterm.

You can choose from many available Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Here is a video explaining IntelliJ

We will cover Unix Shells in details for EECS2031, however here is a quick primer. and here is a more advanced version.
