Compiling and running a Java Application
Usually it is easier to use
Notepad or Wordpad in Windows. While the browser is displaying
the source code, highlight the code and then click edit and copy
(or hit Ctrl-c on the keyboard)
Switch to your editor and paste the code into your document.
If you insist you can still do it the hard way and type the lines in yourself.
Once you have entered the code.
Save the source code under the name suggested in the lesson with the .java extension.
Exit the text editor and return to a command prompt.
Type "javac
******.java" at the command prompt.
If there are any errors, return to the editor and ensure
the source code is exactly the same as what you see in
the lesson. Remember that Java is
case sensitive. Check your upper case letters carefully.
If there are no errors the compiler will work for a few
seconds and then save a file called ******.class in the
same directory.
To run the .class file
type "java ******" at the command prompt.
(where ****** is the name of the .class file.)
Do NOT type java ******.class. It will not execute if you
do.
