Tutorials might need to read: Get Java Working on Windows XP!
Ok, you've got the Java SDK installed. What fun. Now what to do? Well, we are currently working with a program called Eclipse, which does everything we want.
Step 1:
Download Eclipse. Is that it? Well, it's a big 'it'. The site isn't very well designed.
Go to the Eclipse download site. They've fixed it up a bit now, so it's easier to find. Get the bottom download, which should be a purply circle, and called "Eclipse Classic" or similar. It should detect your system automatically.
Downloading will probably take a long while, it's around 170MB. Make yourself a cup of tea.
Step 2:
Once Eclipse has downloaded, the easiest way to get PT is by SVN- a protocol like http used to get code/projects. There's a full copy of Jepe online that only the admins/developers can edit, but anyone can access.
Open Eclipse, and get to the workspace. Then go Help>Updates . Find And Install...
Click "Search for new features to install.", then Next.
Click "New Remote Site", then for Name type "Subclipse", and for the URL copy/paste subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x. Click OK and tick teh box next to Subclipse.
Click Finish, then make sure Subclipse and Subclipse Update Site are selected, adn click Finish again.
Select eevrtyhing except Mylar integration and click Finish, for the last time. Phew! It'll install, then you need to restart Eclipse.
Step 3:
Downloading PT. Once you download it, you just need to update it once in a while, not download the whole lot.
In Eclipse, go File > New > New Project...
Instead of Java, go down and expand the SVN folder and click Checkout Projects from SVN then Next>
Click Create a new repository location... if it's not selected, then Next>
C/p this URL: jepe-engine.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jepe-engine
It'll ask for a sourceforge username and password, jsut leave that blank. Reply here if it doesn't let you in.
Expand the Trunk folder and click Jepe-Engine folder, and then click Next>.
Leave the radio buttons as they are, and click Finish. It'll bring up a new project wizard again; click Java project (at the top) and Next>, give it a name (such as Jepe), then click Finish. It should load from there.
When it's all in, click the Jepe [Thunk/Jepe-Engine] folder on the left and hit F5 to refresh. Then, with taht still selected, click the green button with the Play symbol inside to run Jepe.java. Done!
