Really?! A beginner who tries to follow your tutorial might habe hundreds of questions like:

  • Where do I download Java?
  • What Java version do I need?
  • What's the difference between a JDK and a JRE?
  • What IDE should I download?
  • Why is MAFEE7 using Eclipse although it seems like it's 100 years old and everybody else uses IntelliJ IDEA?
  • What's the difference between all the IDE's?
  • Should I download an IDE that comes with Java included?
  • And if so - why did I install Java separately to the IDE?
  • If not - how do I configure my Java installation in the IDE?
  • Why is MAFEE7's helloworld class in lower case whilst class names should be upper case?
  • How can I compile the code?
  • How can I run the code?

You don't answer any of these. But the one thing you think is important is the semicolon at the end? Really?! 🤦‍♂️
