Fill in check marks in short ___'s or requested information in
longer ones.Turn in one copy and retain another for your own use.
1. Browse to our class web page at www.cs.umb.edu/~eoneil/CS110 ___
2. Download the Chapter 2 book examples linked to the class web page
under "Textbook" if you haven't already. Use Windows Explorer or
Finder to drag and drop the Chap02 directory to be under your cs110
directory. ___
3. Check that you can find the Chap02 directory using Command Prompt
or Terminal.
PC: cd c:\cs110 to get to your cs110
directory from anywhere
dir
to see things there
cd Chap02 change to the
Chap02 directory
dir
should see Echo.java, etc
type Echo.java to
display it ___
Mac: cd ~/cs110 to get to your cs110 directory
from anywhere
ls
to see things there
cd Chap02 change to the
Chap02 directory
ls
should see Echo.java, etc
more Echo.java
to display it.___
4. Compile and run the book examples Echo.java and
GasMileage.java. Commands: "javac Echo.java" then "java Echo",

5. Find the link on the class web page for the DrJava download under
Lab Supplies and Development Tools SourceForge Dr Java Download
Page. Click on "Download Windows App" or "Download Mac OS X
App" as appropriate. ___
6. Because we downloaded a recent Java distribution and made it show
up on the system (in the search path), DrJava should run without any
configuration.
PC: Find the executable in your Downloads directory using
Windows Explorer and drag its fancy-J icon to your Desktop.
You can change the name on the icon if you want. If you use
Chrome, you can right-click the icon at the bottom of the window
used for the download and select "Show in Folder". That will bring
up Windows Explorer on the Downloads directory. ___
Mac: If you use Safari, the download ends up with a little
box in the upper right-hand corner of the browser window. Double
click this to see the download, and double-click the drjava....tar
file that shows there. Move the resulting fancy-J icon to the
desktop. If it fails to run with the error "DrJava is
corrupted and should be moved to trash", it can be run by
right-clicking it and using Open. This error can be prevented by
using the System Preferences>Security & Privacy panel to
allow all downloaded apps to run, at least temporarily. ___
7. Run DrJava and use the Open Folder command. Navigate to the
directory Chap02 that contains the book examples for Chap. 2 and
click Select. You should see Addition.java, ..., TempConverter.java
listed on the left hand side.
a. Select Echo.java and see it displayed in the editor window.
b. Click Compile
c. Click Run (on the far right of the top menu bar). If Run is cut
off because of a small screen, you can run use Tools>Run Document
d. Break the program by typing something into it like "xxxx".
Try to compile it and see how it reports the problem.
Your changed line in Echo.c: _________________________________
The error message: __________________________________________-
e. Where can you type xxxx and still compile the program?
Answer:_________________________________________________________________
8. Copy and paste Hello.java from the class web page into a New
DrJava editor buffer, that is, first click New in DrJava, then do
the paste into the blank editor window. ___
9. Save the result, compile and run it.___
Now you should be ready to compose your own programs in DrJava!
