Post by Luc »

Ok well I am trying to get the BR area builder running but i am having problems. I think i need to update my java but I am having difficult time doing so. Ive downloaded the java from the site listed in with the builder but i cant get it to work. Anyone who managed to get theres to work, please help me out.

Either send me a message here, a note on the mud or send me a message on aim, my aim id is Gennai1209, thank you i appreciate it.

Let me be blunt. That link to download Java sucks. The page has links to the SDK, NetBeans, the J2SE, and more for all different platforms. It's hard to tell which one you need to get. Instead, try this page. The only thing offered for download here is the thing that you need. I recommend downloading the "offline installation" version. That will download everything you need in a single installer file. Once you have it, try installing it. Hopefully it will work better.
