RE: how to create a new java program using CRTJVAPGM?

First create the Java Class/Program in Eclipse.

Compile it and get it to work.

Copy to IFS.

Make sure you have the JAVA_HOME path set.

CRTJVAPGM CLSF('HelloWorld.class') CLASSPATH('/home/srichter')

Don't really need to CRTJVAPGM with the 32-bit JVM. The Java classes perform quite well nowadays.

subject: how to create a new java program using CRTJVAPGM?

how do I create a java program using the CRTJVAPGM command when the .class file does not yet exist?

using the CRTJVAPGM command to create a java program.
CRTJVAPGM CLSF('HelloWorld.class') CLASSPATH('/home/srichter')

It fails because the .class file does not exist. Only the .java file exists at this point.

but once I create the .class file by running javac from QSH, the above mentioned CRTJVAPGM command works.
javac helloworld.java

but specifiying the .java file on the CRTJVAPGM command does not work:
CRTJVAPGM CLSF('HelloWorld.java') CLASSPATH('/home/srichter')

I guess I can figure out the difference between a .class file and .java file. But why does CRTJVAPGM want the .class file specified when that is the file that is created by CRTJVAPGM?
