Hey all
I started learning java and I installed it on my Desktop(XP) and it was fine I could run the programs I made it was all good. When I came round to installing java on my laptop running Ubuntu I followed the guide here
http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Java-on-Linux
I I followed the Ubuntu Console method and it all installed fine.
I treied to run the following simple program just to test it out to see of the install was ok
public class Hellojava
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello Java");
}
}and here is what i typed at the terminal, and the response I got which I do not understand.
hla@box:~/source/java$ javac Hellojava.java
hla@box:~/source/java$ java Hellojava
