Installing Java

  1. Download the latest SDK or JRE from http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html. If you plan to do java development or to build jEdit from source, get the SDK, otherwise get the JRE. There is no reason to get both.

    • Set JAVA_HOME to the main java install directory (ex: C:\j2sdk1.4.1 )
    • add $JAVA_HOME/bin to your PATH
    • add $JAVA_HOME/lib to your CLASSPATH
