DOWNLOADING BLUEJ
Assignments should be done using the free BlueJ development environment over Java Platform Standard Edition 8. (Java SE 8u11). To install the BlueJ environment, please do the following:
1) Download BlueJ

* If you use windows, click on 'bluej Combined Installer' to download

* If you use a mac with an operating system older than 10.7.3 (Early Lion or before), right click on 'BlueJ Installer (uses Apple jdk)' to download.
(Mac installs are not combined with JDK because Java is already a standard install on the Mac.)
