Create a Hello World Java Application

This tutorial will show you how to create a simple Java application using the tools included in the Rational Software Development Platform. In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  • Set Java run-time environment preferences
  • Create a new project
  • Import files into your project
  • Use views and perspectives
  • Add bookmarks, tasks
  • Replace a method from the local history
  • Create new packages and classes
  • Explore and filter hierarchies
  • Refactor Java classes
  • Run and debug a project

In the course of this tutorial, you will be using the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.examples.projects_3.0.0 subdirectory in your installdir\eclipse\plugins directory (where installdir is the directory where Rational Software Development Platform is installed). This subdirectory is installed at installation time as part of the examples for Eclipse plug-in development.

To install the examples, close the workbench now and rerun the Rational Software Development Platform installation program, selecting only Examples for Eclipse plug-in development. After the incremental installation, restart the workbench and confirm that you want to apply pending updates.
