Install course software
  1. Make sure your computer has Java 8 installed. If you're not sure, Google install Java 8 SDK, follow the instructions, and you should be OK.
  2. Follow the video linked from the menu bar on the left under tutorials for installing eclipse to install eclipse on your computer. It should work whether you are on a PC or Mac or Linux. Some notes:
    • Mars is the current stable release of eclipse, and that is what I installed on the video. Please go with that version for this course.
    • On PCs, it seems that if you put the eclipse folder where other programs live, things don't always work. Please do what I do in the video and arrange for the extracted files from the download to appear as a folder on your desktop.
  3. Follow the video linked from the menu bar on the left under tutorials for using subversive. This demonstrates how to:
    • Check out your repository the first time.
    • Update your repository each time you want to do some work.
    • Commit your repository each time you make changes.
    The URL that you need to supply for your repository is
    https://svn.seas.wustl.edu/repositories/yourwustlkey/cse131_fl15/java/
    Change yourwustlkey to your actual WUSTL key.
