TabletPC Software Install

To ready the TabletPCs for use as a software development platform, some software installs need to be made. Please help each other out in downloading, installing and testing the software. We may add additional packages in the future.

All the software we are installing is free!

We will use Eclipse as our IDE for Java development. In particular, download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.
We will also be using Java SE 6. In addition to Java itself, documentation is also available from Sun.
You want to download JUnit 3.8.2 for future use.

Here is a test source file: RaceGame.java
You can create a New Java Project and add this code to it. Run it as an application.
Note: This is just a quick test, normally we will create build scripts to compile and execute code.

To help promote communications among teammates in future labs, you might also install Skype.

Microsoft has the Ink Art, paint program which utilizes the tabletPC in the TabletPC Experience Pack
