DrJava IDE with the Bookclasses Zipped together

• Zip file with both DrJava and the bookClasses. This zip file was created specifically for use in the ACCC labs. Download the zip file onto a flash drive, then unzip the zip file. The software on the flash drive should work as is on any machine in which the Java JDK is already installed. Note the DrJava file is inside of the bookClasses directory. Also note that your programs should also be placed in the bookClasses directory so you won't need to change the Extra Classpath setting in DrJava:
  • bookClassesAndDrJavaForJDK8.zip - This zip file works with JDK 8
  • bookClasses.zip - This zip file does not work with JDK 8
