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+" !" );

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.

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 ?

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 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 ,

My program Test.java in F:\Tomcat5\webapps\Ambika\WEB-INF\Classes. I compiled in the format below. I got like this. What should I do for this?

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 :-)

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 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)
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/package-summary.html
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 :)

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.

You will get all the detailed steps ( have a look at the ff link) to configure the sun wireless toolkit on a PC , midlet compiling, running , uploading to the Palm PDA and testing it on the device. As for the connection, you can use the hot synch cable or a bluetooth hot synch.

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.
