Hardware and software requirements for Java Standard Edition development (Java SE 17)

   

Workstation specifications

  • Windows 10 or Linux or MacOS, 64 bit
  • RAM, 8GB required, 16GB preferable
  • 128 GB Storage (SSD would be preferrable)
  • 4 Core CPU

Development IDE

IntelliJ IDEA Community edition or Ultimate edition are both suitable as tools. If you do not have any of these already installed, download IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and install. For the Ultimate Edition, in case you already have a license the you are already set up, else we will provide you a valid license for the duration of the course. In case you prefer using another IDE, that's also fine as the examples do not make use of any IDE specific functionality. Support, however, can only be provided for IntelliJ.

Java Development Tools

  1. Java Development Toolkit, download and install the Java LTS version 17 or 21 from this location JDK 17 or 21 downloads. Create then an environmental variable named JAVA_HOME pointing to JDK installation folder.

  2. Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin and %MVN_HOME%\bin to your PATH envrionmental variable.

Other tools

  1. Download and install Git Version Control. If you have an older version of git, it is recommended that you update to the latest version.
  2. Create a Github account if you don't already have one (it is free).
