Setting up java sdk 1.4.6

[NoobixCube]

Hey guys,
Just installed java with Textpad as the editor. Have a source code that was supplied but I after I compile it I get the msg:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

Is this to do with setting up the root?

This is more a pure Java question more than a J2EE one. You can have a look at the classpath.

Cheers,

Like Diancecht said... take a look at the classpath file. But also try to see if the method main exists in the class, and see if it's well referenced.

 

[simonjo]

the main method must have the following format:

public static void main(String[] args){
//do sth.
}

if the main method is not static, or it's not public, you'll get the error above.

For example your package is mycodes.MyClass

and your classes in /home/mydir/mycodes/MyClass

than you should launch as

cd /home/mydir

java mycodes.MyClass

you should not run in /home/mydir/mycodes/
