Hi Michael,

From what I remember, all entities in Java are "private" by default.

In the case of classes, this means that you can only access (or "see") it from code within the package it is contained in. By running the helloworld.class file, it will try to call the "main" method on a class called "helloworld". If the class "helloworld" is not declared public, it won't be able to see it (hence the "NoClassFoundException" you were getting).

Cheers,

David.

Right, so I've had a little play with this.

1. Create a file called helloworld.java and save it on your desktop.
2. Put this in it:

public class helloworld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } 3. Save again! 4. Cmd+R

This runs perfectly for me in TM2 using the default Java bundle. Try it on your version (checking and double checking the filename and the class name match exactly).

Cheers,

David

Hey David,

I am pleasantly surprised, but your suggestion was what I needed! Apparently, the code I had used (below) didn't have the class defined as public. I don't understand why that would make a difference, but hey, it works, and that's what really matters.

Many thanks! Michael

class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string. } }
