Appendix A. Java Tools

This appendix gives a brief description and installation instructions about the various software tools that are used in the book. Each of these tools is free and can be installed fairly easily on your own computer, whether you are running macOS X, Microsoft Windows, or some variety of UNIX. Since everything in this book was written on a Mac, we will focus on that platform. Installations and maintenance on other platforms is similar.
