I’m going to start out learning Java and I would like to use Sublime Text to do so. Trouble is, I don’t know exactly what I need to do to get setup prior to starting and I don’t even know what I need enough to ask how to do it. I’ve seen some tutorials people have posted for building and compiling on Windows but I don’t know if these same methods will work for me. Mainly I have a Mac desktop and some Linux laptops. I’ll be primarily using my Mac so any tips for that will be greatly helpful.
I’m also using Sublime Text 2 right now because I just haven’t had the time to update and check out 3. Would you recommend upgrading to v3 for Java? Ie the tools are built-in or just better for learning Java? I also have experience with JS and Python mostly so I’m not worried too much about learning Java in and of itself, just the tools needed to install and getting running prior to starting.
Thanks for any pointers.
