Nowadays when you obtain the SDK form java.com
you get a new interactive programming environemt
much like the Borland C++ IDE.

Up to now I've been developing applications "the old way"
using the operating system command line method.
that is, javac MyApp.java

Then my computer at home crashed and I decided to install the
JDK on my office computer. This was when I got the new
Net Beans IDE. It all seemed good in theory, having eveything
conveniently in one package, the editing, compiling and
executing of your program. It even promised a way to assemble
Jar files.

The problem is that application programs which compiled just fine
using the Command line compiler (javac MyApp.java) seemed to generate
numerous "Cannot Resolve Symbol" errors on this new IDE thing.
This is despite I had all necessary classes in the same directory.

Another thing, I cannot make Jar files for my applets.
I also han do problems with the command line method.

I just don't understand. What's worse is that there are no readily
available online resources to address such issues.

I finally got my home computer up and running again and
I so happend to have an SDK (command line java compiler) from a CD I got
with a Java textbook.

I loaded it onto my computer and I am back in business again.

However I still wnat to know how to effectively deal with this new thingy
because it seems to be good in theory, to have an integrated programming
environemnt rather than to have my DOS window open for comiling
and Notepad open for editing my source code.

New things are supposed to make things easier and better
not waste my time.
