Sorry, that should have been with an underscore (_) instead of a hyphen (-), so the correct URL is: http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~cs362/running-java.shtml I will fix the link in a moment... -- Gary T.

Leavens Cc: Jim Schlosser Subject: Re: Problem with help on Eclipse Gary, it looks like when eclipse is started it opens a port to connect back to for its help engine. I was able to reproduce the error once, but closing eclipse and restarting it made it pick a new port which then worked. My guess is the port it picks may sometimes conflict with other applications running. This was using a test user account with normal ugrad priviledges. Dave --- Dave R.

I'd be happy to have you ask more questions in class; I'm trying to pause to get questions, but you have to be responsible for asking them. If there are things that don't make sense during the exercise, you can write those down as questions, instead of taking a lot of extra time. Or is it just that the exercises are too long? I can see some advantages over the traditional one. If I just lecture first and then give homework, then you only see the material twice instead of 3 times, and are more likely to fall asleep or not attend during the first time. So I would ask you to please give this format a bit more time, but to keep me informed if there are problems like this. -- Gary T.

No, I don't think so. These are just being graded on whether you did them or not, and you can do them just by writing out questions if you don't know how to do them. So I'm not presuming any knowledge. I hope that clarifies the grading of these. See the course grading policies for more information, or see us or write back if that isn't clear. -- Gary T.

You are right, part 4(d) should refer to part c of problem 4, not part g. (I renumbered and missed that cross reference.) So the correct 4(d) is as follows: d. Is there anything wrong with using the exception handler given in part (c)? This has been corrected also in the exercise on line. Thank you, -- Gary T.
