Hi, My wish is to program in Java... 1. Within Konqueror's options one can activate a 'Java' (+Javascript) option. Does that suffice to start using Java as a program language somehow ? 2. Should one rather use YAST to install 'Java 2' from a CD to have things running somewhat easier ? Newbie. Don't knock if the above does not make sense. TKS in advance.

All this does is enable Java applets (applications embedded in the browser windows) in Konqueror.

If you haven't installed Java, then you'll definitely need to do so (prefer 1.5.0 / 5.0 to 1.4.2). Well... There's GCJ, but I'd steer clear of that, since it is incomplete and very little of the copious tutorial material on the Web will apply to it. So that's the next step. Start at <http://java.sun.com/> and look for the tutorials. There's an avalanche of information on Java programming on the Internet, all the way from the basics to the very advanced.

Suze?? Good luck. Java can be fun.

Er, Randall! You know better than that! Java IS fun! :) Jean-Pierre: I've been running Java on SUSE for several iterations of both and it works wonderfully. As Randall suggested, however, stick with either the IBM or SUN jdk versions. I would also suggest you start with a plain editor such as Kate for a while until you understand what is happening before moving on to an IDE such as Netbeans (which you will find at www.netbeans.org).
