  • Tools such as editors to write source code, compilers of the source code, and virtual machines to run the programs.
  • Documentation on the Java classes and their methods and fields.
  • Compatibility issues among of the different versions of Java.
  • Getting started - downloading, installing, and using a Software Development Kit
  • Simple Applet and Simple application examples.
