Step 1. Uninstall JRE and install JDK
Note: You really do not need to uninstall JRE before installing JDK. In fact, you need JRE for running java applications and the JDK installer itself provides an independent install of JRE. This measure is only to assure that you are using the same versions of JDK and JRE and to delete older versions of JRE that usually only take more space in your hard disk.
Step 1.1. Uninstall older versions of JRE
Step 1.2. Install JDK and JRE
You need the Java Developmet Kit (JDK) to recompile stendhal (server and client) everytime you make any change.
Warning: JDK is a big file for downloading (60 Mb) and much bigger after installing (165 Mb). Make sure you have enough disk space.
Go to the Sun's java website and download the following binary installer package: jdk-1_5_0_06-windows-i586-p.exe
Go to Step 2. Install ant
