> This section discusses three methods you can use to build a DirectAnimation Java applet or application.

> In Microsoft Visual J++™:

> 1. From the File menu, choose New.
> 2. From the dialog box that appears, choose the Projects tab.
> 3. Select Java Project as the project type, type a name into the Project name text box, type a path into the Location text box, and then click OK. The Java project is created.
> 4. From the Project menu, choose Add To Project, and then choose Files from the submenu that appears.
> 5. In the Insert Files into Project dialog box that appears, browse for your .java files, select the files you want to add, and then click OK.
> 6. From the Build menu, choose Build MyApp where MyApp is your project's name. The .class files are built, and a test HTML file is generated automatically.

> With the Jvc compiler from the command line:

> The Jvc.exe Java compiler is delivered with Visual J++ and the Microsoft SDK for Java.

> 1. Set your environment path to include the location of Jvc.exe. For example:

>        	set path=c:\"program files"\devstudio\sharedide\bin

>    or:

>        	set path=c:\java\sdk\bin

> 2. Go to the directory containing the .java files.
> 3. At the command line prompt, type:

>        	jvc *.java

>    The class files will be generated. No test HTML will be generated.

> With NMAKE and a sample or template makefile

> 1. Set your environment path to include the location of NMAKE.exe. For example:

>        	set path=c:\"program files"\devstudio\vc\bin

> 2. Set your environment path to include the location of Jvc.exe. For example:

>        	set path=c:\"program files"\devstudio\sharedide\bin

> 3. Go to the directory containing the makefile.
> 4. At the command line prompt, type:

>        	NMAKE
