J2SE v 1.4.2_05 SDK

[danthefirst2000]

Guys,

I downloaded J2SE v 1.4.2_05 SDK from the sun site. Installed it fine
on my laptop which runs on XP. Now I want to start writing some small
programs and play around a bit. I also bought the book Java 2 by
Example (2nd Edition) by Jeff Friesen. Now where do I start from? Does
J2SE v 1.4.2_05 SDK come with a development tool. I complied a demo
program. (clock.java) It created a .class file. What do I with that?
Pls help

Thanks
Dan

You might want to start with the Java Tutorial - which you can download from
java.sun.com.

A class file is what you run - i.e. java NameOfClassFile (without.class) if it
has a main method.
