Justin Payne Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 where do i start? i FINALLY managed to update java to 1.6.0 (thanks to the idiots at microsoft) Why are you blaming Microsoft? Java is made by Oracle. If you're going to us WUDSN, you're going to need Eclipse's IDE (A programing environment). Here is the link to the 64bit Java IDE. I'm assuming you're using WIndows 10 64bit but the 32bit one will work just as well if you don't. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/neon/3/eclipse-java-neon-3-win32-x86_64.zip You just need to unzip the files to some directory and run the exe. No installation needed because Eclipse using Java and you have already installed that. Since you installed Java 1.6, which is quite old since they're going to be releasing Java 1.9 pretty soon, you might run into issue. I'm not going to say that's the case, just a possible outcome. The good news is you can have multiple version of Java on your system. You just need to make sure you define which version of Java you want to that application to run under.

baktra Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Consider upgrading your Java to latest update of 1.8. I also hope you are able to distinguish Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from Java Development Kit (JDK). JRE allows you to run programs written in Java (same as installing .net runtime or Visual C++ runtime). JDK allows you to develop and run programs written in Java (same as installing Visual Studio). For running Eclipse, I would recommend installing JDK. It is provided as a self-contained installer and you will probably need it to run Eclipse anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 He just wants to use WUDSN so the jre is fine. If he was planning on developing in Java, yes, using the JDK would be correct. At this point I haven't gotten an answer as to his technical knowledge so these suggestions might just be over his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoSch Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) I believe, Eclipse wants the JDK even, if you don't want to program in Java. Edited May 30, 2017 by JoSch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DjayBee Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 You only need a JRE for WUDSN-IDE to work. And it works fine with the latest JRE 8 Update 131. The easiest way to install it in Windows is using JAC!'s "ready-to-run" version which can be found here:http://www.wudsn.com/index.php/ide/installation You only have to accept that it can only live in C:\jac.

JoSch Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) OK, that's a different issue. But as a Mac user, I would still need Eclipse and AFAIK that needs JDK. Well, OP is Windows user, so that would be OK for him. Edited May 30, 2017 by JoSch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, OP is Windows user, so that would be OK for him. We're splitting hairs here but for correctness here is a line from the Eclipse website. "Installing Eclipse is relatively easy, but does involve a few steps and software from at least two different sources. Eclipse is a Java-based application and, as such, requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) in order to run." https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Eclipse_4.6_.28Neon.29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoSch Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 My experience even when using only PDT or CDT editions of Eclipse is that it wants a JDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) WUDSN + the Assemblers compiles code generated from G2F nicely. I like the format of the programs it generates. It was useful when starting out for me. Edited June 19, 2017 by Jinroh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
