Javac Unrecognized

[tiepo]

Sorry Folks, Im sure you have had many posts about this but despite all my efforts I still cannot get javac working.

Ive taken a screenie of the error I get in Dos


I have also updated my Path Variables to: %SYSTEMROOT%\system32;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\COMMAND;%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\WBEM;C:\j2sd k1.4.2_04\bin

I know the location is right.

Also, I am useing Windows XP.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance guys

ENV var changes in XP don't require a reboot, but you can't use the same instance of command/cmd.exe. So if you are using the same window that you used prior to the change, that would be your problem.

PS: Use cmd instead of command, it's much faster.

*BLINK* Omg it worked in cmd

Why wouldn't it work in command???

Anyway THANKS ALOT

I hope it continues working

EDIT: Nope now I have another error



This is my code,

/**
* The HelloWorldApp class implements an application that
* simply displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
*/
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.
}
}

DOes anyone know what the problem might be?

You are trying to "run" your source code (the .java), when you should be running the compiled code (the .class).

[tiepo]

Oops, silly me

I tried running the .class but now I get this.

Could anyone point out what Im probly doing wrong this time?
Thanks Tiepo

Er, sorry, I forgot to mention that the .class is assumed

java HelloWorldApp

[tiepo]

Ok thnk
Thanky very much I got it working

more accurately; it cannot be expressed, because . is assumed to be a package directive, so running:

java ABC.class

will attempt to run the class called "class" inside the package ABC.

you will, of course, then get a NoClassDefFoundError
