Question

It is a really simple thing but I cannot get my head around it. I have looked at plenty of StackOverFlow post and as well as on internet.

My goal is to create a .bat whi

Answer 1

Create a plain text file (using notepad) and type the exact line you would use to run your Java file with the command prompt. Then change the extension to .bat and you're done.

Double clicking on this file would run your java program.

I reccommend one file for javac, one for java so you can troubleshoot if anything is wrong.

• Make sure java is in your path, too.. IE typing java in a Dos windows when in your java workspace should bring up the java version message. If java is not in your path the batch file won't work unless you use absolut path to the java binary.
