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 ?

  • How to compile and run java program at command console

    hi there
    can anyone tell me how to compile and run a java program at command console? I have installed JRE 1.3.1, and also have installed JBuilder 5 if it helps.

    try this
    System.out.println("Enter your Name : ");
    BufferedReader console = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
    String s = console.readLine();
    System.out.println("Hello : "+ s+" !" );

  • 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.

  • How to compile and run a .java file from another java program

    hello,
    can any one tell me how to compile and run a *.java* file from another java program which is not in same directory?

    Well a smarter way of implementing this is by using a solution provided by Java Itself.
    If you are using J2SE 6.0+ there is an in built solution provided along with JDK itself and inorder to go ahead with solution the below are set of API which you;d be using it for compiling Java Programs (Files)

    How do i do that ??
    Check out the below articles which would help you of how to do that

    Now once we are done with compilation.In order to run a Specific class all you ought to do is create an object and its specific methods of a specified class included in the CLASSPATH which you can manage it easily by usage little bit reflections.
    Hope that might help :)

  • 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

  • How to compile and run package programs in Java

    Hi,
    I want to know how to compile and run the package programs in Java using -d. instead of creating the package folder manually.
    eg:
    package Test;
    class test1
    public void disp()
    //Any code;
    I want to compile this without creating the folder ' Test ' manually. that is if we use -d with javac the Test folder will be created automatically. I need the format of -d
    could anyone please help me.
    Thanks in Advance ,

  • 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 compile and run a java program?

    I am getting this error message, what to do?
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
    Thanks for you help.
    Ajay

    Hello,
    I believe that this error is caused because when you
    compile and run a java program, you have to use the
    same name that is next to public class. For example,
    the program name is next to the word public class.
    For example, if a program began like this:
    public class Concat
    then the name of the program in this case is Concat
    and when you compile it you type: javac Concat.java
    when you run it type: java Concat
    depending on the name of your program.and depending on whether the class is in a package. And depending on what directory you are currently in.
    Also depending on if you set your class path you might
    have to type the above like this: jdk1.2.1\bin\javac
    Concat.java to compile, and to run you would have to
    type jdk1.2.1\bin\java Concat where you would replace
    Concat with the name of your program and replace
    jdk1.2.1 with the name of your version of java, that
    is again if you do not have your classpath set. Hope
    this helps.Your examples have nothing to do with whether the CLASSPATH is set--only with whether the PATH is set. And, it may not be jdkXXX\bin. The path to the JDK (in this case, to javac and java executables) could be anything. Classpath should be set on the command line. The OP probably did NOT set a classpath on the command line (preferred), or in the environment variables.
    Also, make sure you did not forget to put:
    public static void main(String[ ] args)
    on the line underneath the line where it says "public
    class Concat" where Concat is the name of your
    program. Again, I hope this helps.Irrelevant (with the info we have from the OP so far). The error says that the JVM can't even find the class--not that the class doesn't have a main. The "main" referred to in the error message is within the JVM itself.
    OP: Did you fix your problem? If not, what directory are your files in? Are they in a package? What command are you typing to get that error? That is, please tell us your entire command line.

  • How to Compile and run a GUI project made in Netbeans from shell

    hi all .....
    I develpoed a java project using Netbeans .The project has GUI also (JFrame and various layout ) . The project is building and running fine through netbeans .But when I tried to compile the source files (*.java files) from shell , I failed .
    The project has two files MainFrame.java (JFrame file and this file has the public static void main method ) and helloworld.java (simple java class file). But the "src" folder created by netbeans (at project location) contains one more file named "MainFrame.form" . Moreover netbeans was using two jar files (AbsoluteLayout.jar and Swing-layout-1.0.jar .
    I tried to compile the two .java files . helloworld.java compiled successfully but the MainFrame.java didnt. I used the command :
    linux:~/netbeans projects/Network tool/src/mytool # javac -classpath ".;AbsoluteLayout.jar;Swing-layout-1.0.jar;" MainFrame.java
    The 14 errors were encountered. MOst of them were like :
    MainFrame.java:138: package org.jdesktop.layout does not exist
    org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout jPanel1Layout = new org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout(jPanel1);
    ^
    Help, suggestion or guidance of any type is welcomed .(Keep in mind that project is running fine when done using netbeansIDE).
    waiting for reply....

    Hello,
    1. The .form file was used by Netbean's GUI builder to create the .java and is not needed for compilation.
    2..../src # javac -classpath "..." mytool/*.java
    I guess the package mytool was not coped with.
    Alternatively it is worth to use the ant build tool also used by Netbeans.
    Then you can make a jar from the class files, indicate in the manifest.mf file:
    1. the main class
    2. the library jars

  • How to compile dunamically genrated java files through java program?

    Hi, I have a requirement where i generate java files from WSDL dynamically using wsdl2java jaxbri. I need to compile these files dynamically on the fly and jar it. Everything should happen through java program. Bcos everything is dynamic here, no information is known (like dir, file names ...) until the runtime. Everything is user fed.
    the directories may contain other directories with java files. its recursive
    i tried com.sun.tools.javac.Main.. but either its not scaling to my needs or i donno how to wok with this.
    is there any option to compile the java files as they are created thru JAXBRI (wsdl2java)?
    any help is appreciated..
    -s

    my requirement is :
    i create java files from wsdl2java (axis).. i need to compile all the java files.. directories with in the directories (recursive)...
    as bcos the the java files have inter-dependencies they have to be compiled as a bunch something like (java *.java). I donno how to do this in javac.Main tool
    Once all these files are compiled i need to create a jar out of them
    Any help is appreciated!
