Compiling java on ibook

[Jforce93]

Hi everyone,

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my ibook G4 and now i am wondering: how would i compile .java files and run then in xterm? What packages would i have to install? What commands would i use to do the compiling and the running? Would i use the gcj?

Thanks,

jordan

Java is included by default in Ubuntu. To compile and run a java program,

$ javac [javafile].java
$ java [javafile]

There are other compiling and running options, but those are the basics. Hope this helps!
