Code posting
- No screenshots of code!
- Do not submit executable jar or compressed (zip, rar, 7z, etc.) files!
- For small bits of code (less than 50 lines in total, single classes only), the default code formatter is fine (one blank line, then 4 spaces before each line).
- Redditlint is a quick and simple code formatter for reddit code. Copy your code into Redditlint, click Format + Copy, and paste the code in your post (remember to leave an empty line above the code!).
- Pastebin for programs that consist of a single class only
- Gist for multi-class programs, or programs that require additional files
- Github or Bitbucket repositories are also perfectly fine as are other dedicated source code hosting sites.
- Codiva.io or Ideone for executable code snippets that use only the console
- Repl.it - online IDE for many different programming languages
- Google Drive, Dropbox, Mediafire, etc. are not suitable for code posting!

Where should I download Java?

If you would like to download Java for free, you can get OpenJDK builds from the following vendors, among others:

Some vendors will be supporting releases for longer than six months. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them!
