Instructions:

Group work Choose any partner. Ideally, a partner whose previous programming experience is similar to yours. Read and heed this advice for successful pair programming.

JavaEyes report When you see a question prefaced by     Question: blah blah blah ... put your answer in your JavaEyesReport.txt report file. (More on this shortly.)

Time limit Most students complete this exercise in 20 to 30 minutes. If you find yourself spending much more time than that on this exercise, please see your instructor.

What you should do:	What you should learn:	Resources:
Both partners: Checkout your JavaEyes project.	What is version control? Why use it? How to checkout a project	How to checkout a CVS project by using Tortoise CVS
Partner A: Open your JavaEyes report. Partner B: Open your JavaEyes project.	How to open a project's report How to open a project	To open a project's report: Double-click on the JavaEyesReport.txt file in the project's docs subfolder. For projects that we create, we will put the report file in the docs subfolder. For projects that you create, you will put the report file in the docs subfolder. To open a project: Click on the .jcw (JCreator Workspace) file in the project's folder.
Question: What time is it now? (Later we will ask you how long you spent on Part 1 of JavaEyes.)	Begin using your JavaEyes report	Put all answers to Question: stuff in the JavaEyesReport.txt file that you found in your docs subfolder.
Compile your project.	What it means to compile a project. This converts the program code from the version we can see (text in a high-level language) into a version the computer can understand (machine code). How to compile a project	Go to the Build menu, and select Compile Project (alternatively, you can simply press F7). A successful compile will finish with the words Process Completed in the text window at the bottom. You shouldn't see any error messages. If you do, please ask an assistant for help.
Execute (run) your project.	What it means to execute (run) a project. How to execute a project	Go to the Build menu, and select Execute Project (alternatively, you can simply press F5).
When you run the project, a window with eyes should appear. Move your mouse around in the window and watch the eyes follow it. When you're done playing with JavaEyes, select the Quit button to close the application. Note: when you run the application, you should see two messages in the bottom pane of JCreator. (One appears when JavaEyes starts, the other when you quit JavaEyes.) If the messages appear in a separate MS-DOS window instead, then you have not checked the Capture output in the JCreator Options. See an assistant for help with this, as the bottom pane is usually a more convenient place for messages.
Checkin your JavaEyes project, tagging it Stage1 spelled just like that.	How to checkin a project (update, add contents, commit, tag) What checking out a project accomplishes What checking in a project accomplishes Why version control is useful	How to checkin a project (update, add contents, commit and tag) by using Tortoise CVS
Close your JavaEyes project in the proper fashion.	How to close a project	To close a project: It is best to leave a "clean slate" when you exit a JCreator project. To do so: Window ~ Close All File ~ Save Workspace File ~ Close Workspace
Summary Question: What, exactly, happens when you compile a program? Question: What, exactly, happens when you run a program? Compare your answers with what other people say. Keep asking other groups (or assistants!) until you are confident that you know the right answers. Question: How much time did you spend on Part 1 of JavaEyes?
