hi, can i ask a question, i have a *.java file im working on, and i need to convert/compile it into a *.class file

ive done it before, with javac source endfile
but i've forgotten how
i know its a oneliner simple command, anyone knows?
build it?

yes
even, even
ive forgotten the exact command parameters
and im getting a lang/thread error message
but my JRE SDK (1.5) doesnt have a subdir called lang/thread, maybe i need to install the 1.1.2 JRE ?

or 1.1.8 ?
javac ?
that's it?
to build it yes

if you have a library proble, then i dont have much for you
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
sounds like im missing the complete JRE installation then?
hmm

i dont know how you would be missing that part
but it would be part of 1.5
I did a full install of 1.5
hmmmmm

let me check hold on
jre-1_5_0_07-windows-i586-p.exe
18mb's
not sure why its not there.. according to sun, its been there since jdk 1.0
doing a reinstall brb 30 sec
1.5 is J2SE, does that matter?

J2SE should include the full JRE as part of J2SE
ill be honest,i havent done threads in java
are you doing import java.lang.thread or implements thread?
or you could just try java.lang.*

yes, it imports 4 components
5
import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.*; etc etc
but the libs are there as JAR files
so it should be ok

did a full new install , and javac.exe doesnt come with it
thanks for the help though
