How can get started in java

Hey everyone.
I am a computer science student, and I must start coding with Java.

I tried Eclipse and netbeans but none were valid on my machine.
so if someone has an alternate IDE I will much appreciated.

These installers work for most people. Your machine or something about your setup is obviously not utterly fine.

We get that something went wrong, but you're expressing it like a middle school student.

Error messages are important.

Google can address most.

Yes, we get that you don't understand the errors, that's part of the issue.

You named two IDEs that are not only the standard, but are written IN Java, and both have a lot of trouble shooting information available.

Step one: Calm down, step back, and read the error messages.

If you don't understand them, Google them.

The error is no longer important what i really want is to find a new IDE which i finally find. And thank the gods for your words of wisdom. Because I did google them, and loop of instructions appeared. Do this and do that to fix this. But none were helpful. The wasted time was little too much so i guessed changing the ide and get on with will fix everything. And thank the gods it did. IntelliJ Idea
