This was made with an old version of Java (pre 1.5) It uses enum as a variable name. Need to as (javac tells you) give command :

javac -source 1.4 gld/*.java

Note : when passing a path to Java both slashes work in Java

If your getting file not found your probably in the wrong folder.

Download a zip to a place lets say to folder:

D:\prog\j\

Now open command prompt, I assume you have java bin JDK in windows PATH?

So now you have default source download zip

gld_rel131_source.zip

in D:\prog\j\

Give following commands :

D:

cd D:\prog\j\

mkdir traffic2\src

cd traffic2\src

jar xf D:\prog\j\gld_rel131_source.zip

mkdir ..\bin

javac -d ../bin -source 1.4 gld/*.java

cd ..\bin

java gld.GLDSim

When you run javac gld/*.java, you get this kind of error:

./gld/algo/tlc/SL2TLC.java:272: as of release 5, 'enum' is a keyword, and may not be used as an identifier
(use -source 1.4 or lower to use 'enum' as an identifier)
            Enumeration enum = count.elements();

As specified in the error message, add -source 1.4:

javac -source 1.4 gld/*.java

And everything will be OK :)

You encounter this error because this project is old (2005), was written for J2SE 1.4 or former versions. enum, which used as a variable name in the project, is a keyword since J2SE 5.0. Thus, it cannot compile using newer versions, since its usage is reserved.

EDIT

Since your system is Windows, I would use a backslash (\) instead of a slash (/) for the path argument:

javac -source 1.4 gld\*.java

EDIT 2 Actually it looks like you were in the wrong directory (gld/ instead of its parent). Simply cd .. and retry.
