applying myself?
So I used to do some programming and I've taken 2 classes. I don't want to forget the java I've learned, so how do I apply it to something actually useful? i've learnt a good amount but what can I really do to integrate it into a program. we basically studied object-oriented programming, classes, inheritance, methods, and all that jazz. Are there any good IDEs out there? I've heard of netbeans, jikes and gcj. I don't know what to use really. also any gui tutorials out there for java? i passed the AP exam with a 4, but I had barely a B in that class because I didn't do any work. if i were to retake now i'd probably get a 3 or less :eek:

Only thing I can think of would be writing Rsbot scripts, or actually working on a runescape server. I've never touched Java so I couldn't say what would be good practice. As for a compiler, my friend suggested Dr. Java.

There are various Java compilers. I personally used to use netbeans which was a pain. You can use Java for basically any bot that you want or program. Just got to know / have the right material to do so.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is one Java compiler out there. It's provided by Oracle, I believe.

Netbeans is just an IDE. Just wanted to make sure you guys know the difference between an IDE and a compiler. :P

Sorry about that. You are correct. Got it mixed up.

Use netbeans. Period.

Secondly, dont use java, its decryptable.

Java is a great language for cross-OS compatibility...
