Download Installing jGRASP

Installation : jGRASP
To install jGRASP, you'll need to download and install both jGRASP and the Java
Software Development Kit (SDK).
The Java SDK
Many professional and student programmers do not use an integrated development
environment but choose to use the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) and a text
editor.
This setup has a number of advantages:





There is no learning curve for the IDE program
The SDK tools are much faster than an IDE
You can continue to use your favorite text editor
You enjoy the power and flexibility of the command shell
You know exactly what is happening because you make it happen
Installing the SDK
For Windows or Linux, you should download the Java SDK from
http://java.sun.com/j2se and follow the installation instructions. When installing the
SDK, you will be asked where you want to place the software. Typical choices are
similar to
c:\j2sdk1.4 (Windows)
/usr/local/j2sdk1.4 (Linux)
The exact directory names depend on the SDK version. Make a note of the installation
directories.
For Mac OS X, you need to download the developer tools from Apple
(http://developer.apple.com/tools). The developer tools include the Java SDK.
