The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a command-line based application. That means it is run through the command prompt. The usage of this is similar with all platforms, however for each operating system it is different.

For Windows, go to Start -> Programs (All programs on XP) -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. It will show a black screen in which you type commands in.

For Macs, go to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

In the prompt, type 'java' or 'javac'. As the compiler is 'javac', you may need to add an enviornmental variable to point to the location of Java (javafolder/bin/javac.exe)
