What is the easiest way someone learning Java can run short little
test programs?

(I don't want to create JBuilder projects with libraries all over the
place for someone who is just wanting to learn)


    There's this web game called "Javala" which gives you Java problems for
you to solve. You solve them by typing actual Java code which gets
interpreted on the server side. Presumably, the server side then runs some
unit tests on the provided code to test if you managed to solve the problem.

    Anyway, you can just ignore the problem and type whatever code you want,
if you're in a situation where you have access to a web browser, but no JVM
(the website uses JavaScript and the rest is serverside, so you don't even
need the JRE to use it), but need to test some small snippet of Java code.

I had fun with javala.
When I tried it, you couldn't solve the i.o. problems... Unless you
were tricky (like I was)

For a long time, I was the only one with a score above 94.
Now a lot of people have 100. I guess they fixed Dewey,Huey,Louie
(the string tokenizer problem)
