 |
|
Hello all. This is an extremely basic question but here is what I would like to do:
I have a java source code file: Javatest.java
I want to be able to compile it, and attempt to run it, ie: javac Javatest.java
followed by java Javatest
Do I use command prompt for this? Every time I try and compile the test code, It says the command is not found. And I've downloaded the developer kit from Sun Microsystems, and JRE as well (current versions). How can I get this to work? I know this is a really basic question but I hope someone on the forum can help me out!
Thanks so much mobo.org! Always helpful! |

you would need to make sure that you have your PATH set, it sounds like you're trying to run JAVA commands where they don't reside.
check out this rundown:

| Thank you for all of the help! I actually figured it out earlier today after checking out the links that evasive posted that I need to set the PATH correctly to the JDK folder. After that it worked like a charm. Again Mobo.org to the rescue, thank you evasive and Roach. I greatly appreciate your help. |
