Compiling and Running Java Programs in Terminal on Ubuntu

 You can install the open Java JDK by opening a terminal and running:

Code:

• sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

this will also setup the classpath for you. Now you can simple compile and run you java source with the normal javac / java commands. Lets assume your file is called Myprog.java (with the class called Myprog) and is in your home folder... you can compile with:

Code:

•  javac Myprog.java

Then run it with:

Code:

•  java Myprog
