Getting Started with Java 17
Josh Juneau, Luciano Manelli · Apress eBooks · 2022
This chapter presents a handful of recipes to help programmers who are new to the Java language and those with experience in other languages become accustomed to Java 17. You learn to install Java and configure an integrated development environment (IDE) from which you develop applications and experiment with the solutions provided in this book. For security reasons, we don’t recommend installing something unless absolutely necessary. With no alternative, it is easier and safer to download a compressed version and run the relevant scripts for the respective operating system. You should be able to adapt our instructions to install in the future any latest versions and releases of all the packages mentioned in the book without any problem. You learn the basics of Java, such as creating a class and accepting keyboard input. Documentation is often overlooked, but you also quickly learn how to create great documentation for your Java code in this chapter.
