JCreator is a free IDE for Java. It has a compiler and all. Give it a shot (I haven't since I use the command prompt in Windows to compile).

GCC does support Java if that is what you're implying Pizentios (didn't know if you were, but if so, just letting you know )

Ok, can someone recommend a C++ source file and compiler, just for something to start out with? This java file looks pretty complex... If anyone cares it's the Jext source.

You can download tarballs of MinGW from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml, and here's a basic C++ program:
#include <iostream>

int main ()
{
    std::cout << "I'm hungry." << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

As I said in my original post, I can't install mingw or cygwin, as the computer owner considers them "risky".

If it has to be through the linux cd, GCC would be the way to go, would it not? I'm not familiar with linux but that has always been my understanding.

Dev-C++ would be a good way to go. But you'd have to discuss it with mom and dad, I guess. Ever try having them read over the software description so they get an understanding of what you're wanting to download?

Or have a friend d/l it and burn it to a disk for you, then load it that way.

Wait, I'm confused now (seems common with me :p ). You're going to start doing C++ now and drop your current Java program? So you have no more Java questions then I'm assuming? Ok then

I'm not dropping Java, just starting C++. I got permission for and downloaded Dev-C++ with MinGW, and am looking at a few tutorials now.
