ACM/JETT Workshop - August 4-5, Lab Exercise - Compiling and Running a simple program with BlueJ 1.Use the BankAccount class from Example1.html. Complete the code. Compile it. Create an instance and check if the deposit(double amount) and withdraw(double amount) and getBalance() methods work correctly – Solution is BankAccount.java 2.Use the BankAccount class from Example2.html. Complete the code. Compile it. Create an instance and check if the getRate() method works correctly. – Solution is BankAccountStatic.java 3.These programs can be tested using Driver.java

ACM/JETT Workshop - August 4-5, Java calls its class libraries “PACKAGES” Libraries typically contain many hundreds or thousands of different classes that are useful to developers Java uses packages to arrange library classes into groups that belong together Complete packages can be imported using import package-name.* A specific class can be imported using the full name. For example import java.util.Random Introduction to jar files and packages Taken as is from: Sections 4.3 and 5.5 of Objects First with Java-A Practical Introduction Using Blue J – David J. Barnes and Michael Kolling (1 of 2)

ACM/JETT Workshop - August 4-5, Introduction to jar files and packages First 3 points taken as is from: Appendix E2 of Objects First with Java-A Practical Introduction Using Blue J – David J. Barnes and Michael Kolling (2 of 2) Java applications are usually distributed as Java Archive format files (JAR files) A number of different class files are archived into a single file A JAR file can be created as an executable file Tutorial on jar files :
