I'm able to compile but receiving this error when I try to execute "java apples."
Attachment 640
Current Variables set to:
PATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\
CLASSPATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\jre\lib;.\;
I think the variable settings may perhaps be the issue, any help would be appreciated.
This is an error? public static void main(String args[])
Was the above post made by you? If so you were getting help (but providing very little information) in that thread why start another post in another forum?
No, it was not... I've already searched for a solution to my problem to no avail, which is why I have opted for direct communication. So in before "USE THE SEARCH, NOOB."
Here are a few steps to narrow down the problem.
Type javac -version to see if javac is recognised.
Type java -version to see if java is recognised.
Make sure your class apples is saved in apples.java
Type javac apples.java
Make sure apples.class is created
Type java apples
If your program still doesn't run then copy and paste everything that you did. Do not post a screenshot because:
- It may not be visible to some forum goers (eg blocked).
- It is hard to see.
- If you post info here we don't have to follow a link.
Type javac -version to see if javac is recognised.
C:\test>javac -version
javac 1.6.0_26
Type java -version to see if java is recognised.
C:\test>java -version
java version "1.5.0_21"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_21-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_21-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Make sure your class apples is saved in apples.java
This didn't make any sense. The directory in the test folder includes apples.class and youtube.java. I'm using Bucky's tutorials.
Make sure apples.class is created
It is.

I'm fairly sure the problem is the PATH/CLASSPATH. Sorry if I didn't provide enough information, here.
That doesn't make any sense.
There is a java command.
There is an apples.class file.
It's like there is a batch file named java.bat that is sidetracking the attempt to execute the real java.exe command. To test that Try entering: java.exe apples

Now the java.exe command found the .class file.Quote:
java.exe apples
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
It looks like the java.exe command is an older version of java than the java command that created the .class file.
Or the .class file is corrupted.
Here is the error message I get when I compile with 6_25 and execute with 1.4
Do you have a hex editor? Look at the first few bytes of the .class file.Quote:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: TicTacToe (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknow n Source)
...
Here is what I see for the above .class file:
CAFEBABE0000003200BF0A0039007207
I don't have a hex editor, no. I've only just started attempting to teach myself Java today. Could you recommend one? Also, what is your PATH and CLASSPATH variables set to? Could you please provide an example.
The OS is finding the javac and java commands.
Your last post shows that the java command found a problem with the .class file.
Is the apples class defined in the youtube.java file?
Normally the file names of the .java and the .class files are the same.
What do you mean by this, sorry? You'll have to forgive me as I've only just started learning Java today. Here is the source if that's what you were asking:Quote:

}
}
What is the name of the file containing the source?Quote:
Here is the source
It should be apples.java
This is what happened when I tried to compile then execute after doing what you just said.

You have a class inside youtube.java. When you compile it, the apple.class file is generated. As I said the apple class should be in apple.java not youtube.java. I also noted that your JRE is 1.5 while the JDK is 1.6. You will need to remove 1.5 from the path and only have 1.6 as 1.5 cannot run classes generated in 1.6.
Out of curiosity post the contents of youtube.java
Arrgh, fell for the ol' page 2 trick.
Please ask questions on the forum!
You have JRE 1.5 installed as well as JDK 1.6. Since the JDK comes with the JRE all you need to do is remove JRE 1.5 from your path and JDK/JRE 1.6 will be found instead. You can delete/uninstall 1.5 if you like but it is not necessary.
The JRE install was different. On Windows the java.exe command is copied to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder, which is on the PATH. Also there are registry entries that point to stuff.
Look in the above mentioned folder and see what version of java.exe is there.Right click and properties and version and file version should show you.
The strange thing is that even if class apples is in youtube.java, compiling youtube.java generates apples.class which should run. I just wonder if OP is yanking our chain.
The path variable is set to 1.6 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\).
The version of the Java.exe in the system32 folder is 6.0.260.3. I'll try a fresh install of everything, I suppose.
If only, I'm highly irritated as of now due to this issue.Quote:

If you see 6.0.260.3 in the system32 folder, where did the above output come from?Quote:
C:\test>java -version
java version "1.5.0_21"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_21-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_21-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Do you get a different response for java vs java.exe?
I found a 1.5 version of the java.exe file. The error message is the same as what the OP sees.Quote:

Uninstall the 1.5 and install a 1.6
