Session 1 Exercises

Java build and test exercises and some Java revision

These exercises will help you appreciate what maven does to help you build a java project.

Before you do anything, you should ensure that you have maven installed correctly and can open a windows command prompt with the correct class path.

Open a cmd.exe window or a powershell and try

mvn -version
javac -version
java -version

If any of these commands does not work, you do not have the correct maven and java installation on your machine. Please go through the seperate instructions to get your machine set up correctly.

( DEPRICATED: If you are on a university machine which does not have maven installed all is not lost since we can do a temporary install using the instructions and script in maven-setup

If you use maven-setup. Keep the command prompt open and CD to the correct folder to use this command prompt to run the build commands in these exercises ).

Exercises

  1. First try the command-line-exercise to help you appreciate what manually compiling and running java code entails.
