(Thanks to S. Jost for most of the JDK installation instructions.)

If you are also going to install BlueJ or TextPad, life will be easier if you install JDK1.3 before installing either of the others.

• Create a folder called jdk1.3 in the root folder of your favorite drive (usually c: drive).
• Make sure that you have at least a 300 MHz Pentium PC with at least 64-MB memory.
• Insert the CD from the Lewis and Loftus textbook into the CD drive, go to the folder Java SDK, and double click on the executable file j2sdk1_3_0-win.exe. Follow the directions for installation, installing the software in the folder jdk1.3 that you created. You can also get the latest version of JDK from the Sun site: www.java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-windows.html. On this page you can also browse or download documentation for jdk1.3. Downloading all of the documentation requires more than 20 MB of disk space, so you should probably browse the documentation online to see if you find useful information first.
• You can get additional directions in README.html and also in the Java SDK folder.

Installation instructions and the TextPad download are at www.textpad.com/download/index.html. This download is for evaluation purposes only and will expire in 30 days. A single-user license is $27.

Instructions are at Prof. Jost’s site: http://www.depaul.edu/~sjost/224/materials/install.html.
