JAVA help please.

Hello,
I would like some Java help. This is not Javascript. I know I have posted something like this numerous times, but how do you make JAVA files, and how do you compile them? Thanks,
-CP

First, download and install the java sdk from java.sun.com
Then, I'd suggest getting a decent IDE. I like BlueJ (bluej.org)
You don't need a developement enviornment. You could use notepad and compile from command line, but who wants to do that?!

I prefer NotePad. Eclipse is a good program, but like any other program, you have to get used to how it works, how to import stuff, how to select the compiler (if you have two), and other stuff that gets in the way of actually learning to program

With Notepad, you probably already now how to use it and the command to compile from DOS is "javac something.java". It's not like C++ where you have to pass in a bunch of parameters to get the thing to work right.
