RE:Problem running classes

Posted by Kishori Sharan on July 20, 2000 at 10:05 AM

Hi

You can follow the following steps to compile and run your java program.
1. Suppose c:\myjava is the directory where you store all your
java files. So if you have a java program "Hello.java" then its
path should be c:\myjava\Hello.java .
2. Set the PATH ( I am saying PATH not the ClassPath ) environment
variable to your "java home/bin" i.e. your PATH setting should
look like PATH = %PATH%; c:\jdk1.3\bin;
3. On DOS prompt when you try to compile or run java program then change
your directory to "C:\myjava" i.e. your C: prompt will look like
C:\myjava>
4. First compile your .java file like
C:\myjava>javac Hello.java
5. To run it
C:\myjava>java Hello
If you follow above steps to compile and run java
programs you don't need to set or pass ( using -cp switch ) any CLASSPATH while compiling your java programs.

Thanx
Kishori
