Compiling with jdk1.3

Question

I have not been able to compile test programs with jdk1.3. Mostly I get "Bad Command or File name".
E.G., "C:\J21work>javac Ellsworth.java
Bad command or file name "
among quite a number of attempts to set AUTOEXEC.BAT right
are
"PATH C:\jdk1.3\bin; %PATH%
@SET CLASSPATH=;C:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar; %CLASSPATH%"
and
SET PATH=%PATH%;%JAVAHOME%\BIN
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK\BIN;
any advice?

Answer 1

Forget about autoexec.bat for a while..
it is one way to do it..
other way is:
on DOS prompt type:
1. edit abc.bat (abc is just a name, it can be anything except a DOS command)
2.in this file - abc.bat write:
set path=c:\jdk1.3\bin
set classpath=c:\Name of the directory where your class files reside, if yourfile.class is in c:\temp, write c:\temp here...
3. save this file
4. type abc, don't type abc.bat on DOS prompt
5. u will see the path & classpath set as per your abc file..
you can edit this abc.bat anytime u want..
One more thing, when u exit DOS prompt and again
open it, u need to run ie type abc on DOS prompt again..
Hope this hepls !!
