Program Compiles but doesn't run What I meant was

Posted by Sean Brown on January 30, 2001 at 8:09 PM

What I meant to say was:
Thanks for your tip. Running the program above helped me find the cause of a problem that I had where I couldn't run programs with packages via the java command line. This was because my command line looked something like:
d:\software\jdk122\bin\javac MyClass -classpath d:\javadev\classes -d d:\javadev\classes\test
instead of
d:\software\jdk122\bin\javac -classpath d:\javadev\classes -d d:\javadev\classes\test MyClass

so the compiler wouldn't know where to find my custom classes in packages.

Stupid mistake but I probably would have spent much more time with it without the trick you posted.
