00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:05,600
In this video I'm going to show you some basics in Eclipse,

2
00:00:05,650 --> 00:00:10,030
if you have used Eclipse before, you can just skip this video.

3
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:22,570
When you run it for the first time,

4
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:30,490
you should choose your workspace folder. Your workspace folder will contain all of the project files

5
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:34,000
so you want to know where it's located.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,970
You can select this if you don't want to be asked again.

7
00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:54,550
This is the "Welcome" window,

8
00:00:54,550 --> 00:01:00,380
you can disable it by clicking here. And I'm just going to close it.

9
00:01:02,770 --> 00:01:07,650
And the first thing you should know is how to create a Java project.

10
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:17,980
So this is the package explorer area, and you can just right click in it, and go to New -> Java Project.

11
00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:26,590
I'll name mine "JavaP" for example.

12
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:30,020
That's not very original but let's just go with it.

13
00:01:33,690 --> 00:01:40,010
Then I'm going to go to the source package and add a new package.

14
00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:44,970
Right click on the source package -> New -> Package.

15
00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:53,220
One tip here: there is a naming convention in Java, that says that packages should start with a lowercase

16
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,270
letter, and classes should start with an upper case letter.

17
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:07,770
I'm gonna call this one just "package1", because "package" isn't allowed for some reason. And then I'm going

18
00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:10,730
to create a Class.

19
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:25,030
This is going to be a simple "Hello World" class.

20
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,730
The first thing I'm going to show you is how to enable or disable line numbers.

21
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:41,960
You should go to Window -> Preferences, and then General editors -> Text Editors, and here's that option

22
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:53,300
I'm showing you this because if you're using an older version of Eclipse, your line numbers may be disabled

23
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:54,540
by default.

24
00:02:54,590 --> 00:03:04,160
Also to choose a different font or make your letters bigger, you should go to Window -> Preferences -> Appearance ->

25
00:03:04,490 --> 00:03:15,700
Colors and Fonts, and then go to Basic, and then go to Text Font.

26
00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:22,410
I'm going to pick a bigger size and press "Apply and Close".

27
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,460
Now I want to show you how to import and export classes.

28
00:03:27,590 --> 00:03:34,850
You'll need that because I'm going to save the code that we'll create in this course as classes. There

29
00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:42,080
are two options: you can export the entire project, just right click on your project, and go "Export",

30
00:03:42,170 --> 00:03:49,790
and then when you're importing it, go to this package explorer area, and click "Import". And then you'll

31
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:57,590
find your way because it's pretty intuitive. But the way we're going to do it is: every time we finish

32
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,640
a lesson I'm going to do this: I'm going to right click on the class, press "Copy",

33
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:16,090
paste it on my desktop - or any other folder - and then I'm going to upload that file - so this .java file -

34
00:04:16,540 --> 00:04:24,420
into the lesson. You can import it by just dragging it into your package.

35
00:04:24,490 --> 00:04:28,990
Now there is already HelloWorld.java here.

36
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,730
I'm going to delete that,

37
00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:43,590
and then I'm going to drop the same file into my package and then that's going to work.

38
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:48,320
Now you have all the tools you need to start this course.

39
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:50,520
See you in your first lesson.
