SFWR ENG 3KO4 / 3MO4
Software Development For Computer / Electrical Engineering
Fall 2007 Lab 2 - (Week of Sept 24)

• Due date:
  
• Goals
  • To learn and practice with Eclipse Java IDE that will be an alternative to NetBeans IDE for implementing ABM system after the detail design lab. This early tutorial provides enough time for you to learn Eclipse if you would choose Eclipse for your project implementation. However, we expect that you are familiar with NetBeans IDE through your previous courses. This tutorial has not been intended to be a crash course on either Eclipse or Java and the knowledge of programming language is a prerequisite for this course.
    
• Instructions
  • Mr. Mehran Najafi (TA) will run a hands on tutorial. If you work with your laptop it is recommended to bring your laptop.
  • The tutorial will consist of an overview of Java language and its compilation which is followed by introduction to Eclipse and its capabilities. Mehran will also cover the essentials of setting up a Java project and Java compilation using Eclipse IDE.
  • More in-depth materials about "Eclipse" and "Java" can be found from the "Link to Resources" in the course web page.
  • In order to refresh your knowledge about "NetBeans" you can find useful information through "Link to Resources". Also if you follow the link "Tutorial on NetBeans" and under the title "Tutorials and Other Articles" click on "Using NetBeans IDE 5.0" then you will see topics for "Setting Up Projects" using NetBeans.
• Sample Java programs
  • The following two sample Java code will be used during the hands-on practice in the lab. You must download them and have them with you in the lab.
    • Simple Java example: [.doc]; [.txt]; [.pdf]
    • Java exercise for lab: [.doc]; [.txt]; [.pdf]
  • Tutorial for Eclipse and Java. Click HERE
    
• Details
  • You will login into your account in the lab and will follow the instructions that the TA will give you to generate a project and compile it.
