The window above shows the Start Page for JCreator.

The Start Page includes instructions for installation and operation

To test that JCreator and Java are set up correctly,

follow these simple instructions:

then click on Build -> Build File

this means that you have an error somewhere in your program.

Read the error message, go back to your source code and find

and correct (debug) the error/s.

Use Build -> Build File repeatedly until you get the message:
