Why doesn't work on intellij idea? cant i use intellij for my workspace?

1 Answer

I am not asking for help with the code, I'm asking if I could use applications like Eclipse or IntelliJ Ideal for my workspace???

Now, I'm totally lost...

First of all there is course here called 'Local Development Environments' that will teach how to use intellijidea

Second, you write in Java, simple classes .java.

There is absolutely no problem, if you create new project in Eclipse,

Put your classes there, and run the program. It is still Java...

One thing maybe Console console and console.readLine() will not work...

So you have to replace with BufferedReader, Craig will come to that sooner or later as well...

So Workspace, is just a bash environent with JDK installed, to help you run

javac someClass.java

and

java someClass

You can do that on your local machine: open Bash console, install Java JDK, and run the same commands...

What I don't understand : how do you want to quote

use applications like Eclipse or IntelliJ Ideal for my workspace???

All you need workspace for, is to type couple of .java classes, and then run it using commands above.

Eclipse and Intellijidea are completely independent IDE that help you a lot, and they are in no way connected to Workspaces ...
