I am trying to compile with textpad but I am getting errors. Can anyone wo compile walk me through setting up text pad to compile java.

Thanks

What are the errors ?

 

[SSonnier]

I can't compile a simple "hello world" program from the command line or from text pad. The response is that
"Can not resolve symbol, symbol: class string..... package system does not exist". I have read teh FAQ about installing and looked on the java.sun site but can not see what I am doing wrong.

I have installed correctly on my desktop, but can not get this correct on my notebook.

Any help would be appreciated!!

post your code ...

remember that Java is case sensitive - so its

System.out.println("Hello"

not - system.out.println ...

and also

String s = "world";

not - string s = ...

Understood, but now.... on both my desktop and notebook, when I try to compile from textpad a windows alert

"c:windows\javac.exe

The system can not find the specified file.

edit you enviroment PATH variable to use the javac.exe from your SDK install -

set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin

(or edit it via Control-Panel-->System-->Advanced-->Environment-Varibales)

Is this in the autoexec.bat file?

I'm working on windows 98

 

[sedj]

Oh, yes add it in autoexec.bat if in win98

set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

 

[SSonnier]

Here is what is in my autoexectbat file

set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk
SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

But I am still receiving he same error....

"c:windows\javac.exe

The system can not find the specified file.

any ideas?

Thanks

Try adding these lines to your autoexec.bat file.You should remove previously added path and class path variables for java.

Give the filename as it is installed in your system, in path and classpath(here that is j2sdk1.4.1_01)(For this , right click on Start ,explore and check how the installation directory is spelt)


set classpath=%classpath%;c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\lib;
set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin


And run autoexec from command prompt (Type autoexec and press enter) or restart your system.

To check if java is correctly installed in your system run the commands java and javac from command prompt.

Hope this helps.
