Suppose your program is MyApp.java, compiled to MyApp.class, and located in the C:\MyApp directory. I assume the directory containing java.exe is on the Windows search path. The program may be run with the following command at a DOS prompt: java.exe -cp C:\MyApp MyApp Suppose the file C:\MyApp\MyApp.java is the active document in EdSharp. Press Alt+F5 for the Prompt Command, and input the following: java.exe -cp %SourceDir% %SourceRoot% If you then press Enter, the program should run. The prompt command will be remembered, so you just have to press Alt+F5 and Enter the next time. If the program is a console mode one without some kind of pause statement at the bottom, however, the console window will close before you can read any output that the program prints to the screen. I do not know Java well enough to suggest a command to put at the bottom of the file so that the screen pauses (e.g., in Python a call to raw_input() would do this). One approach to address this would be to run the program from a batch file that included the DOS pause command at the end. For Example, you could create the file C:\MyApp\RunMyApp.bat containing the following lines: @echo off cls java.exe -cp C:\MyApp MyApp pause Jamal On Sun, 20 Sep 2009, Alex Hall wrote: > Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:12:13 -0400 > From: Alex Hall <mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: Blind Programming List <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: edsharp and running java class files > > Hi all, > EdSharp compiles my .java files to .class files just fine, but when I try to > run them, I just get "returning".
