How to run a Java program from the command line on Windows

Question

I'm not sure how to execute the program? Is this possible on Windows?

 Why is it different than another environment?

Thanx in advanced!!

Hello @kartik,

In case your Java class is in some package. Suppose your Java class named ABC.java is present in com.hello.programs, then you need to run it with the package name.

Compile it in the usual way:

C:\SimpleJavaProject\src\com\hello\programs > javac ABC.java

But to run it, you need to give the package name and then your java class name:

C:\SimpleJavaProject\src > java com.hello.programs.ABC

Hope this work!!

Thanks in advanced!!
