Compiling Question

[rockyhunt]

Hi. First off, sorry for the stupid question. I am a new user to Java. I am currently using JBuilder to go through some exercises. The exercises are using the command prompt and are asking me to just compile my program and not use the interpreter. I am not sure how to do this in JBuilder. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

There is plenty of 'help' within JBuilder. I suggest you take the time to read through some of it if you are going to make productive use of the product.

If you are learning Java, I would further recommend that you follow the exercises verbatim rather than use JBuilder. Have a go compiling from the command line. I'd get acquainted with the language a bit before tackling IDEs. They bring their own complexity to the party, and can tend to obscure some of the understanding required to be a good Java developer.
