Instructions for setting up Dr. Java on a Windows machine:

Dr. Java is the recommended and supported IDE for the course, supported by the TA's. You may use a different IDE such as Eclipse if you would like.
1. Copy jMusic.1.6.01.jar from this page, MediaSources.zip and java-sources.zip to a folder on your hard drive. We recommend putting everything in C:\cs1316.
2. Unzip all zip files (java-source, jMusic, mediasources) and put them into the cs1316 folder.
3. Download the Java JDK if you do not already have it by going to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and clicking on the download button in JDK 6 Update 16 section.
4. Select "Windows" for the platform (unless you have a 64 bit then select that one) and leave the language as "multi-language." Accept the license agreement.
5. Click on jdk-6u16-windows-i586.exe
6. A window will pop up, select Save File. Make sure you know where the file will download.
