Compile and run java programs using batch file

i am using eclipse to run my java programs.How to compile and run those programs using a batch file?

a) just write a batch file, and add it to the project. When you want to run it, go to a command window and invoke it. (There is probably also a way to invoke it from Eclipse)
b) if the project is complicated, take a look at ant. Eclispe knows about ant files.

How to Set up the variables and others to compile and Run Java Programs

Hello,
I have just downloaded the jdk1.6.0_07 and jre1.6.0_07 and installed it in C:\Program files\Java in my Windows XP ,So please tell me how to sett up the enviroment variables etc to compile and run Java Programs from Command Prompt.
thanks

To set the PATH permanently, add the full path of the jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin directory to the PATH variable. Typically this full path looks something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin. Set the PATH as follows on Microsoft Windows:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > System on Windows XP or Start > Settings > Control Panel > System on Windows 2000.
2. Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
3. Add the location of bin folder of JDK installation for PATH in User Variables and System Variables. A typical value for PATH is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin

Compile and run java programs in different directroy

Hi,
I often encounter many problems when I run java programs in the different directories. Like
javac -d dir_name a.java
java -cp dir_name a
Something wired often happens, such as, there is not a.java file in some directory, but javac -d dir_name a.java can still work or "java -cp dir_name a" often doesn't work. Moreover, file_name.jar is also a tough problem and solving compiling problems is often time-consuming.
So I hope to read something about how to compile and run java programs in different directory properly.
Could you pleae give me a detailed description for that or recommend a book or website?
Thanks a lot.

Can you post a small amount of code that does not work, including the directory structure, and the error messages? Some one here can likely explain the problem.

Compiling and running Java programs on my laptop

I have just bought a new laptop but I can't run and compile Java programs using the javac filename.java command in the command prompt. I know I have to download something but I am not sure what link. I would be grateful if somebody could send me on a URL. My O/S is Windows XP. Can somebody advise please?

If you just want to run java applications, you just need the JRE: J2SE 5.0 JRE
If you want to compile java source code, you need the JDK: J2SE 5.0 JDK
It includes also the JRE. Recommended is also the J2SE 5.0 Documentation that contains the javadoc API that describes all the Java classes.
To start develeoping I recommend the Java Tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

How do I compile and run Java programs on a Mac?

To clarify my earlier post, I know that you can write java in any text editor but with the PC you compile and run everything through the MS DOS prompt, what is the Mac equivalent?

See this question :-)

How to get the erroe message, if i run java program using .bat file

Hi,
I have a java file which accepts two inputs as command line argument. I want to make this pgm a tool. So have created a *.bat file which has the following command
java myprogram arg1 arg2
I'm gonna share this program with others. So i'll keep the class file and the .bat file in a commaon folder. All the users have to do is, edit the .bat file to give his/her args and run the .bat file. The pbm is, if the user input is not valid, I have put displays in the pgm to show it.
But if i run thru .bat, I'm not getting the error message or I don't know where it is getting displayed.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks,
Mary

When i run from the console, I can see the output.
But, when i double click on the .bat file from the
folder, it runs fine and i couldn't see the output.
nullThat's because the error message is printed, and then the console is closed. The message is there but you need to read really really fast :)

Compile and run a program with Terminal

Hello, I used TextWrangler to create a .c file on my desktop. I want to compile and run the program using Terminal. However, I am new to programming and I am not sure how to achieve this. I have Xcode with Command Line Tools downloaded. I have the file "6_19.c" on my desktop currently. Any help would be appreciated.

Your Desktop probably isn't in your execution path, so you might want to start by moving "6_19.c" from your Desktop to your Home folder. After that, in Terminal, just do
gcc -o 6_19 6_19.c
The general format is
gcc -o <name you want the compiled program to have> <name of the source>.c
Do not put any .extension on the end of the name you want the compiled program to have. Also note that after "gcc" there's a space, then a dash and the next character is a lower case letter 'o', not a numerical zero. There's a space between the name of the compiled program and the name of the source.
To run the program, at your terminal prompt type
./6_19
The general format is dot forward slash <name of the compiled program>
There's no spaces at all.
Good luck.

How to compile and run java files on a mac using command line?

can someone tell me or link me to some article on how to compile and run java files from command line on a mac? I have mac OS X leopard

What do you mean by "where to put them" ? What do you want to put anywhere ?
Have you read Peter's comment in brackets ? Perhaps you have a classpath problem ?

Query regarding running Java application from Batch file

Hi,
I have written an application in Java and I have packaged it as a JAR file.
In my system I use a batch file called 'run.bat' to execute the program. The batch file is as follows:
java -classpath "%CLASSPATH%;editor.jar" editor.JPad
This works fine in my system. But when it is executed in other systems where JRE is not configured properly, I am not able to correctly start the Java application.
Please can anybody tell me, how to detect the JRE from the Batch file and refer to it correctly, so that it will run in any system with JRE.
Can we do this from a Batch file ?
Hoping for a quick reply.
Thanks,
S.Sampath

You can't really "detect" whether a JRE is available from a batch. All I can think of is to check for the typical Java variables (JVM_HOME, CLASSPATH etc) to exist. If they don't, especially JVM_HOME, a JRE is probably not installed.

That'll pop up another consoleI'm under the impression that the console window he is seeing is the one which cmd.exe opens when it is executing the batch file. And that batch file won't return until the java process has completed because he didn't start it in the background to let the batch file continue and terminate.
So I don't think just simply substituting java with javaw will do much good either. Still think he needs a "start" command in that batch file.
So now he can try:
start java -jar ...
or
start javaw -jar ...Fair point
