IDE use: Q. Do I have to use the JCreator IDE in this course?
A. Not really. You can use any editor or development environment you want, as long as it produces line numbers – you must have those. The editor/IDE you use is not central to creating Java programs. My instructions deal with JCreator. However if you encounter “issues” with using some IDE that you have selected, I will most likely not be able to assist you. Using a windows based IDE like JCreator is much faster and more enjoyable than using a primitive Notepad and Command Prompt programming environment, although instructional materials frequently reference a “bare bones” environment like that.
