Project A

Following the HelloDate.java example from the text,

import java.util.*;

public class HelloDate {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello, it's: ");
    System.out.println(new Date());
  }
}

create a Hello, World program that simply prints out "Hello, World!".

• You only need a single method in your class: the main() one that gets executed when the program starts. Remember to make it static and to include the argument list, even though you won't use it.
• Name the single public class in the file HelloDoc.
• Add comment documentation to your program. Java in a Nutshell, pp. 312-320 and 342-348, provides more information. Use all of the following tags in their appropriate places:
• @author
• @version
• @param
• @see java.lang.System#out
• Compile the program with javac and run it using java. If you are using a different development environment than the JDK, learn how to compile and run programs in that environment.
• Extract the comment documentation into an HTML file using javadoc and view it with your Web browser.

Submit your work via the CATE form for Project A.
