Sun's java software installation programs

Crash

I've had a problem lately, in that i downloaded Java SDK 1.3 off the sun website recently. while it installed okay, i am unable to find the console.class file, which is necessary for pretty much all my programs.
Does anyone know where it is hidden, or where i can download it?

Thanks

1.3.1

I'm not aware of any Console package?

Shouldn't it be something like this...

Filename = inputtest.java

import java.io.*;

public class inputtest
{
 
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
	BufferedReader console = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

	System.out.print("What is your name? > ");

	String name = null;

	try {
		name = console.readLine();
	} catch (IOException e) { name = "error!"; }	// shouldn't happen.

	System.out.println("Hello " + name);

  }

}

ho ho ho,

you would't happen to be in DCU perchance ? And doing CA ? Or maybe using.. bah cant remember the name of the book.

Anyway, the console class you have used, probaly in college, is not part of the standard jdk. It is part of a book, java 2 something. Search google for it and you might get lucky

Ah that would be it. i'm not actually in college there but i did a course in java there.

Thanks for your help, thats been driving me insane for a week or two.

huh?

Worked fine for me. Did you set your CLASSPATH? All the binarys are kept in the Bin directory.

Yeh, its not that the javac or java commands wont work, its that when i try to compile any program that uses Console.readInt or Console.readString, it ****s up.

Hobbes, Which version are you using?
