Set up jGRASP for Java Programming

jGRASP is an IDE mainly used for programming in Java. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for creating, debugging, and testing Java programs. This guide will assume you are using a 64-bit Windows system.

Install jGRASP here

I installed jGRASP 2.0.6_10 as of writing; the standalone version without the OpenJDK bundle, etc.

Java

Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) here. Installed JRE 8 on 64-bit Windows as of writing.¹

Install Java Development Kit (JDK) here. Installed JDK 19 exe installer as of writing.¹

After installing JRE and JDK, I recommend restarting your system.

Confirm JRE and JDK is installed respectively by opening either cmd or powershell and typing:

java -version

to confirm JRE is installed properly

and

javac -version

to confirm JDK Compiler is installed properly.

jGRASP should now be able to compile and run Java files properly after setup.
