Title: java and the terminal
Post by: joe9173 on April 11, 2003, 05:41:00 PM
is it possible to run a java program that i wrote in the terminal? i'm currently running it through the "program builder" in the developer's tools package.... i'd imagine it would run reasonably faster in the terminal?

thanks

NAME
       java - Java interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       java [ options ] class [ argument ...  ]

       java [ options ] -jar file.jar
            [ argument ...  ]

PARAMETERS
       Options  may be in any order.  For a discussion of parame-
       ters which apply to a specific option, see OPTIONS  below.

       options        Command-line options.  See OPTIONS below.

       class          Name of the class to be invoked.

       this  by  starting  a  Java runtime environment, loading a
       specified class, and invoking that  class's  main  method.
       The method must have the following signature:

          public static void main(String args[])

I'm not a programmer, but that may do it for you.
