Foil 4 Java Applications

From Java Tutorial - Spring 1997 Part II: Java Language and Object-Oriented Concepts Peking Tutorial, Web Certificate -- Spring-Summer 1997. by Nancy J. McCracken,Geoffrey C. Fox


All Java programs are written into a file with a ".java" extension.
Applications are .java files with a main class which is excuted first.
How to compile and run a Java application:
  • Run the compiler on a .java file:
    • javac MyProgram.java
    • producing a file "MyProgram.class" of Java bytecodes
  • Run the interpreter on a .class file:
    • java MyProgram
    • which executes the bytecodes
The resources javac and java are part of JDK and are not in Netscape and so are not necessarily available on the same machine as your web server.
