Running a Java Application Not Coming in Eclipse
To run a Java application outside of Eclipse, you can follow these steps:
- Compile your Java source code using the
javac
command. For example, if your application is stored in a file calledMain.java
, open a terminal or command prompt and execute the command:javac Main.java
This will generate a
Main.class
file containing the compiled bytecode. -
Run the compiled bytecode using the
java
command. In the same terminal or command prompt, execute the command:java Main
This will run the Java application and produce the output, if any.
Make sure you are in the correct directory where your Java source code file is located. If you have multiple classes in your application, remember to compile all the necessary Java files before running the main class.
Here’s an example to further illustrate the process. Let’s say you have a Java application with the following source code in a file called Main.java
:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where Main.java
is located, and execute the following commands:
javac Main.java
java Main
The output should be:
Hello, World!
