Hi,

I just started programming in Java, and now i tried to compile a file with the Mac Terminal (Command-line),
but it did only give me an error which i couldn't explain, because this code did work in Eclipse compiler.

Here's my code:

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

(Yes, i can do better, i just wrote this to see if i could compile something with the command-line.)

and this is what i did:

I don't think i did something wrong with the code, but i think it has something to do with the command-line.

Thanks

Sorry for posting this useless thread, i solved my own problem.
It's very dumb actually, i jut had to type

public static void main (String [] args)

instead of

public static void main (string [] args)
