We can't do much about the answers/ help offered, but do we want to encourage questions on the J++ language and .EXE files?
If the answer is no, how should they be discouraged? See <URL: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > for guidance on answering (and asking) questions; and <URL: http://xml.apache.org/fop/gethelp.html > for an account the help you can expect from the community here. I expect that most people here would agrww with this statement "More general questions regarding Java, including deployment, Java APIs, classpath issues and property definitions should be redirected to some Java specific list."

If you use an SDK from SUN, Borland, IBM etc., it will work fine, not >just on *X, but also on Windows. Probably correct. Looks like a collection of useful pointers and some basic advice.
