forget about Jcreator for a while. If you don't have Java installed , download it from the Sun website and install it. After installing, launch a command prompt. Type in "java -version" . It will show which version of java you have on your machine.
Also to make sure you have the java executables ( java.exe, javac.exe etc) Path set , type "java" on command prompt. If there is no error, you are good with the installation.
ACtually the installtion will set everything nicely for you......
Create a simple java class using an editor...notepad, wordpad etc.. Save it as .java file, and use the javac to compile it. you can run your program using java command...
Look up the docs if you have questions...
