Cannot compile a program

Hi,
I have written a project.
it has three packagess model,view,controller.
i.e we have folders like
C:\exercise1\model\view\controller.
and a main file
C:\exercise1\mortgagecalculator.
when i run the project in eclispe workspace it runs fine but when i run this at command prompt it gives me error that import statements in C:\mortgagecalculator are not working.
even import in
C:\model\view
and
C:\model\view\Controller are also not working
the classpath has been set to C:\exercise1
and path="C:\programfiles\java\jdk1.5._02\bin"
please help me in this regard.
Regards,
mallik

The fact that you have a \model\view directory listed both under filesystem root and under \exercise1, and that you spell "controller" also as "Controller", and that you have a directory \model\view\controller when the paradigm really suggests that they should be three parallel, not nested, directories, suggests to me that your code is randomly thrown around or that you're not referring to your packages consistently, or both.
It's hard to say exactly what you've done wrong, since you didn't go into a lot of detail about the error messages.
So just try to be consistent and formal about where you keep your source code and your compiled classes and how you invoke javac.

Cannot compile java Programs

hi everyone,
when i tried to compile a java Program i had created.I got the following Error.
Error occoured during initialization of VM java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
I reinstalled the entire thing from the system and when i tried to compile the java Program again it gives like a 1000 errors even on the programs i know that work fine and even the very basic 5 or 10 line Programs.Can someone tell me what is happening??

Having Deleted a file in the folder that i was executing the javac seem to have fixed the problem.It was called String.java
and the content of the file were as mentioned under:Any help on why it happened or what the file was doing would be really appreciated.
The content of the file:-
""Java String Examples
The String class implements immutable character strings, which are read-only once the string object has been created and initialized. All string literals in Java programs, are implemented as instances of String class.
The easiest way to create a Java String object is using a string literal:
1.
String str1 = "I can't be changed once created!";
A Java string literal is a reference to a String object. Since a String literal is a reference, it can be manipulated like any other String reference. i.e. it can be used to invoke methods of String class.
For example,
1.
int myLenght = "Hello world".length();
The Java language provides special support for the string concatenation operator (+), which has been overloaded for Java Strings objects. String concatenation is implemented through the StringBuffer class and its append method.
For example,
1.
String finalString = "Hello" + "World";
Would be executed as
1.
String finalString = new StringBuffer().append("Hello").append("World").toString();
The Java compiler optimizes handling of string literals. Only one String object is shared by all strings having same character sequence. Such strings are said to be interned, meaning that they share a unique String object. The Java String class maintains a private pool where such strings are interned.
For example,
1.
String str1="Hello";
2.
String str2="Hello";
3.
If(str1 == str2)
4.
System.out.println("Equal");
Would print Equal when executed.
Since the Java String objects are immutable, any operation performed on one String reference will never have any effect on other references denoting the same object.
String Constructors
String class provides various types of constructors to create String objects. Some of them are,
String()
Creates a new String object whose content is empty i.e. "".
String(String s)
Creates a new String object whose content is same as the String object passed as an argument.
Note: Invoking String constructor creates a new string object, means it does not intern the String. Interned String object reference can be obtained by using intern() method of the String class.
String also provides constructors that take byte and char array as an argument and returns String object.
String equality - Compare Java String
String class overrides the equals() method of the Object class. It compares the content of the two string object and returns the boolean value accordingly.
For example,
1.
String str1="Hello";
2.
String str2="Hello";
3.
String str3=new String("Hello") //Using constructor.
4.
5.
If(str1 == str2)
6.
System.out.println("Equal 1");
7.
Else
8.
System.out.println("Not Equal 1");
9.
10.
If(str1 == str3)
11.
System.out.println("Equal 2");
12.
Else
13.
System.out.println("I am constructed using constructor, hence not interned");
14.
15.
If( str1.equals(str3) )
16.
System.out.println("Equal 3");
17.
Else
18.
System.out.println("Not Equal 3");
The output would be,
Equal 1
Not Equal 2
Equal 3
Note that == compares the references not the actual contents of the String object; Where as equals method compares actual contents of two String objects.
String class also provides another method equalsIgnoreCase() which ignores the case of contents while comparing.
Apart from these methods String class also provides compareTo methods.
int compareTo(String str2)
This method compares two Strings and returns an int value. It returns
- value 0, if this string is equal to the string argument
- a value less than 0, if this string is less than the string argument
- a value greater than 0, if this string is greater than the string argument
int compareTo(Object object)
This method behaves exactly like the first method if the argument object is actually a String object; otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException."""

I cannot compile the following program which calls for another 6 class files from its code. Please note the main program (DiveLog.java)+the other 6 class files are stored in the same directory.
And also as this involves "package" I tried to compile it as "javac -classpath DiveLog.jav". But I still get the 'cannot resolve symbol' error messages.

=========================================================

Might be a typo when you posted, but your DiveLog class is in package DiveLog, whereas your Welcome class is in package divelog (note the capitalization differences).
And even though they're in the same package, i'm always a fan of importing all the files you're going to need explicitly, such as
import divelog.Welcome
this applies to using the wildcard character too (as in, you shouldn't) to import files. Explicitly listing all imports allows you, and any other developer, to quickly see a list of all classes used.

I cannot compile anything

I have a problem with my setup. My labview project has been running perfectly till today, when I cannot compile any project. My project works perfectly in another computer. Same with "simpler" projects that I have. I cannot compile. I have tried to compile an empty vi, but the problem is the same.
I decided to remove all labview components from my host computer. I removed everything from the host (NI-MAX/my-computer/sofware, all programs selected) and reinstalled Labview 2013. After doing that, the problem still happens. Attached you have a picture where you can check which error appears. It even happens with empty fpga VI.
I am running Labview 2013 in an Windows 7 64bit. Xilinx 14.4 13.0.0
My software package worked perfectly till today. Maybe something got corrupted...
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance
Pablo

Labview error before compilation.png ‏24 KB

You've re-installed NI things. Butm did you try re-installing the compiler as that sounds like the source of your problems?
For future reference, you should bring up FPGA in the subject, in the first sentence, or pretty much anywhere other than the end of your post. It helps others understand your issue to know what we are looking at from the start.

Cannot compile Java3D

I have a problem when compiling Java3D programs. It seems the classes that come with this API cannot be found by Java. Programs not using Java3D compile fine. Installation went correctly as far as I know, the src file is located in the sdk directory, path is set correctly etc. I also import all the correct files (the program compiles fine at school, so that's not the problem). Any ideas?

          setSize(300, 120);
          show();

If you are compiling from the same directory as the source file, then you don't need a sourcepath. Just type:
javac MultipleSelection.javaThe import files will be found as long as you have the C:\jdk1.3.1_02\bin directory in your command path.
By the way, you will need to move the 'main' method into the MultipleSelection class to compile correctly.
Hope this helps.

Looks like you're using ant. You need to configure your ant build.xml file
so that mail.jar (and activation.jar unless you're using JDK 6) is in your
classpath when you compile (and run, of course).

JAAS - problem in compiling the program

Hi,
I am working on JAAS .
I tried the Authorization example given in this link of sun site.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jaas/tutorials/GeneralAcnAndAzn.html
I was trying to compile that program but SamplAzn.java..is not compiling.
when I try it given the error below :
--------------------Configurat

Note: D:\AZN\sample\SampleAzn.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
1 error
Process completed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------So,What should I do ?
Thankx..

Yes , I created the directory structure as given in the link.
I can compile all other ".java" file.
But I don't know why I can't compile SampleAzn.java file.

Cannot compile outside /bin.

I have set the CLASSPATH to C:\jdk1.3.1_02\bin;.C:\jdk1.3.1_02\myclasses;.C:\jdk1.3.1_02\ but I cannot compile outside the bin/ directory, I can type java and run a program anywhere on my system (WinXP) but not compile. Help.

Try type this in your command line:
c:\>path
It will list out your paths, see whether your $JDK\bin is there, if not you got to append it to your path, nevertheless, the path you set now will be gone after you reset your computer(if I never remember wrongly). To set it to automatic, you can try edit your autoexec.bat file and add in the $JDK\bin path.

Can't find (and possibly don't have) the -lglut -lGLU -lGL libraries... or at least when I try to compile a program, it returns with that error. Any ideas (I really need to get this popgen program running on Lion)? Thx!

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile a population genetic software program onto my Mac Lion. It was originally compiled to Tiger and worked beautifully. But now I'm getting an error 'library not found for -lglut', and now I'm trying to figure out how to download the library. I've installed the command line code for Xcode, and am thinking I possibly missed installing the libraries. I could be very wrong here... all I know is that I'm no longer near the people I would ask to help me with this so I'm asking you! Thanks in advance for any help! I guess my questions are: 1) where can I download the glut (potentially OpenGL) libraries (if I don't have them already)? And 2) once downloaded, how do I install it so the makefile will compile my program (in terminal, not Xcode)? Cheers,

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
