The Java Interpreter: javaThe java interpreter launches a Java application. This command takes one of the following forms:
If the first form is used, java starts a Java runtime environment. It then loads the specified classname and runs that class's main() method, which must be declared as follows: public static void main(String args[]) The String parameter args[] is an array of strings used to pass any arguments listed on the command line. Command-line arguments are optional. If the second form of the java command is used, java will load the classes and resources from the specified Java archive (JAR). In this case, the special -jar option flag must be specified. The options can also include many other command-line options, including the -classpath option. |
