I know nothing at all about java

[Sensimillia]

What I want to do is this:

I have a java programs source code. I have ant (do not know how to configure it (thought that I needed it)) I also have SDK and do not what the hell it does. I want to compile my java source code into a .class file and put it up on my webserver so that I can run my .class file from there.

I also have vj if that would be any help to me.

What you basically have to do is install the JDK on your system.
I think the latest version is 1.3 but there might be a beta 1.3.? or 1.4 but any way...... Like i said you have to install the JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment) and the API so you have access to the core Java classes. If you need help compiling, running code or configuring the jdk i would be glad to help but the first step is to install.

There's 1.4 beta, coming out in a few months. 1.3.1 (or 1.3.something) is a latest release.

Thank you.
I'll install JRE Then I'll be back.

I got JRE 1.2(I figued that a earlyer version might be easyer to use) Now what? What is it suppose to do for me? All I know is that I need it to compile java to class somehow. I know this muse seem like lame question to you guys but HEY!, I'm new at java stuff.
