I followed your suggestions.Now new errors...
No, you didn't.

javac is the compiler. You pass file names as arguments to the compiler, and those filenames should have the .java extension .

java is the interpreter. You pass class names as arguments to the interpreter. Class names don't have any ...

Looking at your screenshot a couple of things come to mind

:arrow: if all the classes and libraries are in your current working dir you don't need to specify a -classpath option (unless you changed the default classpath)

:arrow: if you specify the -classpath option it should always include the ...

Both Eclipse and Netbeans are IDEs and they're main job is compiling java code. Both use their own compiler and know where to look for class libraries, without the need for you to tell them.

Textpad on the other hand is only a text editor and relies on an external tool (the javac compiler) to ...

Open the preferences dialog and check the command line for the "run java applet" tool, and then try to run the same command in a console window. Check for errors and fix them. (Most likely cause? appletviewer not found inside the command PATH).

Hope that helps...

Again, thank you.

The value I'm getting is as follows:
CLASSPATH=C:\jdk1.5\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar

I'm not sure why my classpath is sending me to the connectorJ packages, but, as I said, everything was working fine and then just stopped working.

I knew there had to be a perfectly obvious reason I'd fail to think of

That regular expression should match every single line in any file (unless match case is checked) since all it says is "match the lines that begin with zero or more occurences of any (lowercase) letter". If a line begins with a lowercase letter the regex matches (1 occurrence), if it doesn't the ...

Can't fix them, if you don't document them!
So, here's one ;)

Upgrading from tp4 to tp5 leaves the old settings in the registry (and that's fine), but tp5 copies them over to a new key without fixing the path of syntax definition files. So tp5 opens and complains about not being able to find the ...

Time to update the FAQ maybe?

(It seems to me that 90% of the problems people have with Java on this board and almost everywhere I hang out can be traced to a CLASSPATH thing...)
