Installation : jGRASP


To install jGRASP, you'll need to download and install both jGRASP and the Java Software Development Kit (SDK).

The Java SDK


Many professional and student programmers do not use an integrated development environment but choose to use the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) and a text editor.

This setup has a number of advantages:



  • There is no learning curve for the IDE program

  • The SDK tools are much faster than an IDE

  • You can continue to use your favorite text editor

  • You enjoy the power and flexibility of the command shell

  • You know exactly what is happening because you make it happen

Installing the SDK


For Windows or Linux, you should download the Java SDK from http://java.sun.com/j2se and follow the installation instructions. When installing the SDK, you will be asked where you want to place the software. Typical choices are similar to

c:\j2sdk1.4 (Windows)


/usr/local/j2sdk1.4 (Linux)

The exact directory names depend on the SDK version. Make a note of the installation directories.

For Mac OS X, you need to download the developer tools from Apple (http://developer.apple.com/tools). The developer tools include the Java SDK.

Steps


  • In the License dialog box, choose "I accept the terms..." and click Next

  • In the Custom Setup dialog box, you don't need to make any changes, so just click Next

  • In the Browser Registration dialog box, you don't need to make any changes, so just click Install

  • The installation will begin, and a progress bar will show you how much time is remaining in the install process.

  • When it's done, you should see a dialog box that says "The InstallShield Wizard has successfully installed Java 2 SDK". Click Finish.

  • You'll need to restart your computer.

jGRASP 1.8.6


Download jgrasp-1.8.6.exe to your Desktop. Double-click on the file, and the script will take you through the steps for installing jGRASP.

Steps


  • In the Welcome dialog box, click Next.

  • In the jGRASP License dialog box, click I Agree.

  • In the Target Directory dialog box, you don't need to make any changes, so just click Next.

  • In the Program Group dialog box, you don't need to make any changes, so click Next.

  • You will then see a dialog box that says "jGRASP has been installed successfully". Click Finish.

When you have completed the installation, you should find the jGRASP icon on your Desktop. jGRASP should also be listed on the Start Menu, under All Programs.

Once you have successfully installed the Java SDK and jGRASP, you can delete jgrasp-1.8.6.exe, j2sdk-1.4.2.13.exe, and Java Web Start from your Desktop.


Starting jGRASP the First Time


Double-click on the jGRASP icon on your Desktop to start jGRASP. If you get a message saying that there is a newer version of jGRASP available online. It's ok, just ignore that message.  There are a couple of settings that you need to change the first time you run jGRASP. You need to follow these steps only once.

  • Go to the Settings menu and highlight Look and Feel>. A sub-menu will pop up. Select Windows. This will make jGRASP look like a normal Windows program.
