Hi Suzie,
Yes, but there is a big bunch of files to download. Which one is the right one 
to get first?

Thanks.

It is version 3.6 and that is what you need.

Hi,
I'm lost. I went to 
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/winPlatform.php
 and don't know which thing to download. What is all this stuff?

Thanks.

Hi Suzie,
I just downloaded Thinking In Java, Third Edition. They have a Fourth Edition 
for $25 there, too. Go Here: http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ

Hi Jim,

I started with TextPad. Now I am trying to learn Eclipse. Eclipse puts in 
closing brackets, braces, and parenthesis. Sinah Bauram is simply fantastic 
with Eclipse and he worked with me a little bit while we were at the NFB 
convention. He really knows how to make it work. Up until that time I didn't 
think a blind user could compete with a sighted user. I know you can get 
Thinking in Java from O'Reily.

Hi Suzie,
Jeff Fidler, a member of this list when last I knew is a very good Java 
developer. He recommended Thinking In Java and the Core Java series. If I am 
right. Bookshare has Core Java. I'm not sure if they have the latest version, 
but that probably makes little difference to a beginner as I am. He also 
recommended that I get Eclipse and start with that right from the beginning. I 
was thinking that I would use EdSharp and the JDK to cut down on the learning 
curve at least until I get through some of the basics. What do you think?

Thanks.

Jim
