Java on Linux

Hi all:

Just wondering if someone could give me some input on the following: What is required to create and run java program on Linux? I'm familar with the install on Windows, and by this I mean System Variables, PATH, etc ... However I'm using Linux on another machine, which I intend to be a Dev machine, thus requirement for all related Java packages to be installed!

Many thanks

Oliver :)

This is how you do it.

Basically, you use whatever package manager comes with your distro to install some Java, then proceed exactly as you would do in Windows.
