I've just finished a computer science course that included Java programming. We were told to install the Java Development Kit but NOT the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
I still haven't installed the JRE, and so applets don't work on my computer.
Why do you think I was warned not to install the JRE? Will installing the JRE stop me from being able to compile and run Java programs?
And yes, I probably should know this already, and I probably should have asked before my course ended.
I have Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 1.5.0.9 btw
Please help .................
