1. For the development of our Java code we are going to use the Java IDE Eclipse. Watch the Eclipse tutorial on BREO (http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/totalbeginner.html) and give a summary of the contents. 2. A useful resource when developing Java code can be found at http://downloadllnw.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api. What is the purpose of this site? 3. Bjarne Stroustrup comments on Java: Java isn't platform independent; it is a platform. (See, Bjarne Stroustrups FAQ at http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq.html#Java). Discuss.

1 Eclipse is a software that was created in January 2004 as an IBM Canada project and it was developed by Object Technology International (OTI). With multiple languages used for developing other software with an integrated development environment (IDE). Most of the programing code is written in Java but it can be also used to develop software in using plug-ins and other programming languages Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, Groovy and Scheme. (wikipedia, 2011) This software is a free and open source software meant for java developers consisting of the java development tools (JDT) and it is released under the terms of the eclipse public license (wikipedia, 2011)

2 This website is made and used as a software library that describes and suggests the expected behavior of a code while the library is an actual implementation of this set of rules. The Java API site can be used only as a software library were people can read the behaviours and the implementations of a code (wikpedia, 2011)

3 Java is used in a lot of platforms such as enterprise servers and supercomputers or even embedded devices and mobile phones. Java platform is the name for a package of associated programs from Sun (Java Card, Java ME, Java SE, Java EE) that allow for developing and running programs written in the Java programming language. The platform is a virtual machine and a compiler with a set of libraries that are implemented for several hardware and operating systems so that Java programs can run identically on all of them.
