Hi to all the members,

At the moment i am reading a book which is explaing me about Java,
I am not at a stage where i am being told to download a J2SE and the API Docs,

I have downloaded this JDK 6u1 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Have i got the right thing?

and where can i get the API docs for this??

Can some one please help me on those

That link looks correct. You probably won't need the EE flavour, so my suggestion would be either JDK 6u1 or JDK 6u1 With Netbeans if you want to check out the Netbeans IDE.

I didn't see a link to download it, but here's the main API (& docs) page http://java.sun.com/javase/reference/api.jsp

Personally, if I need to reference the API when I'm working on something I just google "java API 'whatever I'm looking for' " and the API for that class will be one of the first links.

Good luck.

You can download Java API Documentation from Sun.

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Click on "Java SE 6 Documentation" download button.

You will need to accept licence agreement etc before you can download

Cheers,
