I am having troble Compilng a program

[itm]

Hi,
I am new to Java, and am trying to run the smiple program in a book I got.
This is the programI am trying to run.
public class Saluton {
public static void main (String[] arguments){
System.out.println(greeting);
}
}

This is what I get:
C:\javaSol>Javac Salution.java
error: cannot read : Salution.java

Also, I set up the path and Class evionment variables like the book said, but I am wondering if something is wrong there anyway.

my ClassPath = .;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\lib\tools.jar
My Path = ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin
I not sure what they mean they cannot read: Saluton.java? or what to do about it. this is reallly discouraging, I have been trying to get this simple program to compile and I am not even at the run part yet.

I'm fairly new to Java as well, but is the file name called Salutation too? I know that if you have public class Salution in a basic program and the file name you're working with isn't the same as Salutation you'll run into problems, at least with JCreator which is the compiler I use.

yes I did not write it right here, but in the actual files they are the same.

I have been trying to solve this for weeks now. Has any one else had problems comiling programs like this in java?

If you are new, I recommend you to use a developer tool which will help you compile programs. You can visit this site http://www.scad.co.nr for a step by step guide on how to do this.

On command line you typed: "javac Salution.java"
You should type: "javac Saluton.java"

Class name must be the same as file name, and it is also case sensitive.
