The java command takes the name of the class, not the name of the file. So, your command-line should be "java Test", assuming you put your class in the unnamed package.

I use jEdit for all my text editing (from bash scripts to XML) and have gotten it to the point where it's basically my favorite IDE. :) Here's the plugins I have installed: Antelope BufferTabs Console ErrorList Gesture Plugin Jalopy Java Source Code Formatter JDiff Plugin Message View SideKick Spell Check Whitespace You may not need all of those. There are also other good ones. If you want an real IDE, try Eclipse; I've heard it is really great for Java. I've never used it. If you are a KDE user, KDevelop has java support, but I've only used it for a couple of C projects, and haven't really gotten to like it. All apps mentioned in this email are available from portage. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
