hey guys, i am new to java programming. I am having problems setting up my compiler. I am looking for a class called the scanner.class, i need this class to program an assignment for my cs133 class. btw the compiler i am using is Dr. Java...thanks for helping me out... desi-mafia

java.util.Scanner was introduced in Java 1.5. I have never heard of the Dr. Java compiler. Google tells me Dr. Java is an IDE, also that there is an Eclipse (another IDE) plugin. Minimal research indicates you need to also have Sun's SDK installed properly. Apparently the 1.5 SDK. Enter from a command line: java -version You should see something like: java version "1.5.0_06" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing) If you do not, your Java system is not installed correctly.
