One man, One Mission

[Machstorm]

I don't know what it was today, but I made up my mind and I'm going to dust off the books I bought a year ago and learn Java. I am going to start tonight and see if I can do it by this time tomorrow.

Here's the book I will be using:

i have been tempted to start something new, i love hardware, but i might go networking, so im thinking of network security, maybe dismantle some virii

My major is network security or Information Assurance and Forensics to be more precise there are only 7 colleges that have this major and Oklahoma has 4 of them. :D

One problem that I am running into is that I cannot run complied source code from a command line when I create it from Netbeans 6.5.

Netbeans shows the correct output for

public class Example2 {

public static void main (String args[]) {

System.out.println("This is the first line");

System.out.println ("This is the secondline");

}

}

But when I go to the folder that holds the class file for Example2 and run it from the command line I get this:

ld\classes\example2>java Example2

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Example2 (wrong name:

example2/Example2)

Could not find the main class: Example2. Program will exit.

Is there something I missed?

my school (Auburn University) is one of the others.. woot!!

When you say you run the class... are you running the jar or the class file?

[Machstorm]

Oops, I meant the class file. From the looks of it Netbeans micromanages all of the files created when I compile source code

You should be running the jar...

[Machstorm]

Oh, ok I will try that. Thanks

(Edit) I got it to work finally. I had to tell Netbeans to create and store the Jar file so I could use it But I cannot acces it directly I have ti use this command to do it.

java -jar "C:\Documents and Settings\Home_Directory\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\Example1\dist\Example1.jar"

Otherwise, I get an error.

[Machstorm]

Damn, it's been a battle, however this is as far as I have got.

public class test {

public static void main (String args []){

int num;

num = 1000;

System.out.print (num);

System.out.println(" is the value of num ");

}

}

[SomethingToChatWith]

Yeah javas a pain to start with. I can remember getting a hello world program working on its own (actually manged to compile the jar :)) awhile back but I'm much happier with .net now. Not saying I don't want to learn java, its just vb + the fact it was a class I took very seriously = got somewhere a lot faster than trying to learn on my own. This though took me a good 5-6 months and I'm still learning, so don't expect to learn it using the 1-3 week strategy.

GL whatever path you take.

[Machstorm]

Yah, I have to be very proficient with programming when I go for my masters in Information Assurance and forensics at Tulsa University. I can't wait to get into Cyber corp.
