Hello I am on campus trying to compile a simple binary tree program .. our campus only has shell and I am using Linux over eclipse..
I have 2 class files in my current directory bintree.java and treetest.java
javac bintree.java treetest.java
this code creates multiple classes but what is my next step? ive searched everywhere theres not a lot of info on java Linux shell. thank you
If all of the java files you need to compile are in your directory you can
javac *.java
And then
java NameOfClassWithMainMethod
Otherwise if you want to learn to work without an IDE I would suggest learning to use Maven or Gradle. They will abstract away a lot of the tedium of compiling a project, and if become a pro dev you'll need to know at least Maven anyway.
$ find -name "*.java" > sources.txt
$ javac @sources.txt
You might look at http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-the-javac-command.html
When you run javac xxx.java xxy.java xxz.java you should get several .class files as a result. Is your problem really with running the javac or getting the resultant classes to run your program?
If so you may want to look here at another stackoverflow questin
Basically use java -cp classname for the class that has your "static Main()" in it
