This is a tutorial style repo that is intended to reinforce lessons set out in the Java documentation.
Because sometimes folks are slow and need help breaking down what is occurring when Java compiles (javac) and runs (java) a class or Jar.
Some of us like knowing the essence of what is occurring and find the generally accepted answer of "Ideally, you don't interact with javac directly anyway, but let your IDE and/or build system take care of that for you" distasteful and in truth a bit of a code smell that a language is so difficult to use that after market tools must be employed to create useful artifacts in it.
- Have Java 8+ installed
- Have a *nix box (I have a Mac)
