 What is BlueJ?
BlueJ is a Java™ development environment specifically
designed for teaching at an introductory level. It was
designed and implemented by the BlueJ team at Monash
University, Melbourne, Australia.

More information about BlueJ is available at

http://bluej.monash.edu.

 BlueJ
Installation
BlueJ is distributed as an archive of Java classes in “jar” format. Installing it is
quite straightforward.

Prerequisites
You must have JDK 1.2.2 or later installed on your system to use BlueJ. Some
functionality works better with JDK 1.3, so it is worth getting or updating to the
latest JDK release. If you do not have JDK installed you can download it from
Sun’s web site at http://java.sun.com/j2se/.

 Getting BlueJ
The BlueJ distribution file is named bluej-
xxx.jar, where xxx is a version number. For
example, the BlueJ version 1.1.1 distribution is
named bluej-111.jar. You might get this file on
disk, or you can download it from the BlueJ web
site at http://bluej.monash.edu.

 Opening a project in BlueJ

BlueJ projects, like standard Java packages, are directories

containing the files included in the project. If you start BlueJ from
a command line, and you give a project as an argument, it will
automatically be opened.
If you start BlueJ without an argument, use the Project –

Open... menu command to select and open a project.
