Begin to become familiar with Eclipse and Subclipse for Java programming.
Complete the assigned reading for the next session, according to the course schedule. Since HW1 is due at the start of session 2, look under the reading column at session 2. (It is Big Java chapter 1 (just skim §1.1–1.2 and §1.6) and §2.1–2.7. After today, you'll have to look there—on the course schedule page—for the reading assignments.)
A note on Big Java: Big Java is, well, big. Much of the information in the first few chapters might be review to some students. Please feel free to skim sections that are review, but make it a habit to do the assigned reading. As we move past the first chapters, more of the material will be completely new.
Follow this link to instructions for configuring Eclipse for Java. Do the configuration described there, including creating a workspace for your Java programs (as described in the link).
Note: your laptop should already have:
Open the Eclipse application.
Choose Window → Show View → Other ... → SVN → SVN Repositories
to create a tab (at the bottom of the Eclipse workbench) for the SVN Repositories view.
New → Repository Location
to add the following repository:
http://svn.csse.rose-hulman.edu/repos/csse220-201230-
username
where username is your Rose-Hulman username.
You may need to enter your SVN (not Kerberos) password if Eclipse hasn't already cached it. Let me know if you need me to reset your SVN password.
Your programming work for this assignment must be done in the HW1
project in Eclipse. Use the SVN Repositories
view to Checkout this project.
SeriesSum.java
to the repository. Remember, in all your code:
Here is the grading rubric for this assignment.
We will grade your Big Java assessment (i.e. quiz on the reading) using ANGEL. Turn-in your programming work by committing it to your SVN repository.
