Do I need to work based off the terminal or can I use IDE?

[aks0961]

hey, first off thanks a lot for making this book, I'm using it right now to study for the 1Z0-811 exam

So I know that since the beginning of the book, it looks like rather than using an IDE you are using the terminal to run the code. Since I already have some experience with coding I am familiar with using Eclipse. So my question is, Is it okay if I use Eclipse to follow with the book or would I have to run my code through the terminal, the same are you did in the book?

Thanks!

also, can you please go over what the throw exception does in the main method? And also explain a bit more about command line arguments?

1. We recommend using the command line if you are a beginner for reasons explained here: https://enthuware.com/oca-ocp-java-cert ... cation-ide

2. It is not really possible to explain a whole topic in a forum post. You will learn about exceptions and the command line arguments as you read through the book. After you go through it, if you have a specific doubt, post it here and we can help.
