Compiling programs with packages in java using windows command line - java

I have a .java file which i compiled in a package named "Mypack",using command line as follows
javac -d . file_name.java // The "." specifies the current working directory which was the desktop
so it creates a folder on the desktop named "Mypack"(The package name), in the folder the .class file for my program is placed.Now i did the following
java -classpath "C:\Users\LoRd CuRZon\Desktop\Mypack" file_name // Error Could not find or load main method
Even if i go into the directory "Mypack" and launch command prompt from that directory and try to run the program i still get the same error.

run it as likewise from Desktop,
c:/.../Desktop> java Mypack.file_name

java command requires fully qualified name .
so from desktop run java Mypack.classname

If you have this error:
Error Could not find or load main method
That means you don't write a main method in you code try to write it.
But befor to do those steps:
Fo compiling a programme do this:
java Mypack.file_name
To run it do like this:
java Mypack.classname

How to get jar name into startup script within bat(batch) file

I have a bat file I run through command prompt to deploy a java app locally for local testing on my machine:
start java -server -AnotherParameter -AnotherParameter -jar path\to\jar\appName-version.jar
exit
To run this bat file, I use the following command:
start batFileName.bat
However, the next time the version changes on this jar, the bat file will not work, because the version is out of sync. This results in myself having to change my bat file each time the version is updated.
Is there a way to pass in a the version when I run the start command through command prompt to use as the jar name? This way when I run my bat file, I can just pass in the name of the jar at that time to run the java application? If so how would I pass that version into the bat file and how would I use that parameter?
In your script, replace the version part of the jar file name with an argument replacement parameter:
start java -server -AnotherParameter -AnotherParameter -jar path\to\jar\appName-%1.jar
Do not start the program using java -jar . Change the start up script
include the folder where you jar file is present into class path with wild card, like:
java -cp path\to\jar*
call the main class in your jar file. I suppose the main class does not change so often as versions of the jar file?
The whole command line will look like this:
java -cp path\to\jar* com.something.foo.bar.Main
JVM will load your jar whatever its name is, and will find the main class and will start it if it has "main" method.

Failed to run java in remote command line with external jar file

I want to run my Java code in remote server with external jar file. I referred to this tutorial and run IntelliJ IDE to generate a jar file of my whole project. Now I can run the following code in local terminal successfully.
javac -cp /Users/natsuapo/out/artifacts/main_jar/main.jar: new_server_try.java
java -cp /Users/natsuapo/out/artifacts/main_jar/main.jar: new_server_try
The code will run successfully. However, when I try the same thing in server. The compile process can be finished without any errors or warnings.
javac -cp /Users/natsuapo/out/artifacts/main_jar/main.jar: new_server_try.java
I have checked that the class file new_server_try.class is generated in the directory.
However the second step will return error as Could not find or load main class new_server_try and I am not sure why this happens.
on the second command try giving the full package name .. like shown below
java -cp "/Users/natsuapo/out/artifacts/main_jar/main.jar:lib/*" my.package.MainClass
also with operating system the command differs, check below
Windows
java -cp "Test.jar;lib/*" my.package.MainClass
Unix
java -cp "Test.jar:lib/*" my.package.MainClass

Eclipse compiled files are not runnable by java command

When you write a simple Java Application in Eclipse in automatically compiles those files and stores them in the bin/ folder of the root folder of the project.
Now if I navigate to the /bin folder and to the folder that contains the .class file I want to run via the java command below I am getting the following error - :
java A
Error: Could not find or load main class A
Class A:
package assurance;
public class A {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
While the class A has a main method and runs fine when I right click on the file and do a Run As Java Application. But it does not run from the command like java command.
Why is this happening ?
Update:
Tried with the following commands-:
java -cp "A.class" assurance.A
java -cp "A" assurance.A
java -cp "*" assurance.A
It works in Eclipse, because Eclipse just runs it with correct -cp and correct command :)
Run your code with the following command:
java -cp "./" assurance.A ("" for some odd cmd interpreters like Windows XP)
it is important that the command is run from the "default package" directory (top-level package directory).
Java interprets package name (assurance) as directory path to the class file. Imagine if it replaces . with / and adds .class extension
(assurance.A => ./assurance/A.class)

Running a java program through command line

I am running a Java program with the following command:
java -cp .:./* com.bot.fix.botclient
All the jar files are in the same directory. It works FINE! But what if I want to run it from a different folder?
The full location of the java program is: FIX/fixprog/src/com/fix/botclient
But if I try to run:
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/* FIX/fixprog/src/com.bot.fix.botclient
I get:
Error: Could not find or load main class FIX.fixprog.src.com.bot.fix.botclient
What am I doing wrong? How can I run the same Java program but not in the same directory?
If you have only jar files try:
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/* com.bot.fix.botclient
If you have also classes you should try:
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src/*:FIX/fixprog/src/ com.bot.fix.botclient
If both did not work perhaps you shoud use absolut path with disk unit if you are using windows.
Try if below works. You don't need to specify path when giving the fully qualified name of your java class that you are trying to execute. The "cp" part takes care of it.
java -cp FIX/fixprog/src com.bot.fix.botclient

Error: Could not find or load main class xxx Linux

I am very new to linux environment.
I am trying to run an simple hello world java class in linux environment.
Hello .java
package com.util;
public class Hello {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hi");
}
}
I have compiled java class in windows environment and uploaded the .class file to linux system into /home/scripts path.
my command is as follows,
java -cp /home/scripts com.util.Hello
when i am executing this command from this same /home/scripts where Hello.class is there i am getting,
Error: Could not find or load main class com.util.Hello and not able to proceed further.
can some one help me in this issue?
navigate to /home/scripts using terminal
javac com/util/Hello.java
then
cd /home/scripts
java -cp . com.util.Hello
Or,
java -cp "/home/scripts" com.util.Hello
At first you must generate your .class file :
javac ./hello.java
This command has generated hello.class file
And after you can run your class file ! :)
java hello
We first know javac command work well.
I also met this error,and i have resolved this.Let me share this.
First we need to find the parent path of your package in your java codes.
Then cd to that path using java package + fileName should work well at that moment.
I had the exact same issue on windows, and I solved it by adding path "." to both CLASSPATH and PATH, maybe you can try this on Linux as well.
Your .class file should not reside in /home/scripts/, but in /home/scripts/com/util/. Take a look at this document that explains the relation between classpath, packages and directories.
Before Specifying the path,ensure you follow these three things meticulously,
1. Close the command prompt window, before specifying the path.
2. When adding path, add bin and semi- colon at the end and
3. If JAVAC command has worked properly, try java -cp class name.
if you want to run program in current working directory where your class reside.
java gives three options.
first option
java -cp Tester
Second option for current working directory
java -cp . Tester
Third option export CLASSPATH variable
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:. (this is the best one if your directory changes) or
export CLASSPATH=$PWD
or
export CLASSPATH=
after that you must sorce the bashrc or bashprofile.
