[Linux dev] Re: OT: Java Installation

Hi All,

I have installed the Java SDK Jdk1.3 on a machine running RH8.0 and added
the java directory to the path. However, if I try to compile any code, the
system accepts the command but nothing happens. Typing "java" alone comes
back with the usage format. Giving the classpath as a command line option
does not make any difference. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? I
have installed the JDK on M$ Windows machines without problems.

To compile you have to run javac Classname.java this should produce a file called Classname.class, to run that file run java -classpath .:$CLASSPATH Classname

If you .java file has a package statement, then to run it you have to run it as java -classpath .:$CLASSPATH pakagename.Classname

Cheers
