I tried a simple tutorial and it won't work :(
I am new to java and just installed: j2sdk1.4.2_05. This looks ok to me
(thanks zoopy).
But can anyone get me started with this?

The appletviewer does not work also with this simple program...(start
applet not initialized)

<this is the tut>
/**
* The HelloWorldApp class implements an application that
* simply displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
*/
class Hello2 {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.
   }
}
</this is the tut>

java console:
load: Hello.class is not public or has no public constructor.

same with this one:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

class Hello extends Applet {
   Label tekstLabel = new Label("Hello");
   public void init(){
       add(tekstLabel);
   }
}

thanks,
Mark
