I am having difficulty running.java files following their compilation. What is typically done for a file to run properly? Thanks!

You don't run .java files.
You compile (javac) .java files which creates .class files aka byte code.
You then java the .class file without the extension.
e.g.

Code: Select all

C:\foo>javac FrequentlyAskedQuestion.java
C:\foo>dir *
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 1F86-DC58

 Directory of C:\tmp

09/27/2006  02:53 PM              1423 FrequentlyAskedQuestion.java
09/27/2006  02:55 PM               576 FrequentlyAskedQuestion.class
               2 File(s)          1,999 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  10,255,163,392 bytes free
C:\foo>java FrequentlyAskedQuestion
This is the expeced result of running "FrequentlyAskedQuestion"

Yes, I know this... however I am unable to get those to run (the compiled file).... is tehre a setting or path I need to set up? I did this successfuly during a training program last year and am able to run them (they were created on anotehr machine); but I am unable to run any new files created on my local machine.
