I just installed the most current JDK on my new system, which I inherited from my son. It runs XP. When I set my development environment up on my old system, using Windows 98, I put the
java folder directly on my C drive. XP doesn't seem to want me rummaging around in the C drive, so I installed the java stuff in the ProgramFiles directory, as it prompted me to do. It seems XP has trust issues. Fine. We'll do it that way if it makes XP happy.
On my old system, I could pull up a console window using the MS-DOS icon in the Start menu. XP doesn't have one. I'd like to try compiling the Hello World app, but I can't figure out how to open a console in XP.
Can anyone helpme out here?
