I've been running different individual Java .java files in the Netbeans IDE by right-clicking the .java files themselves in the Project Explorer of Netbeans (the portion normally at the upper left part of Netbeans).
However, i've been googling on how to make a class file run another class file using code, but to no avail.
I have a project named "loadanotherfile" with 2 files, namely: Loadanotherfile.java and otherfile.java
I'm trying to make Loadanotherfile.java run otherfile.java, but I'm not exactly sure how. I read about Classloaders and URLClassloaders however these methods don't seem suitable for my purpose of running another .java file.
Below is the code of the 2 files i mentioned.
Loadanotherfile.java
package loadanotherfile;
public class Loadanotherfile {
/**
* #param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
// TODO code application logic here
}
}
otherfile.java
package loadanotherfile;
public class otherfile {
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("This is the other file.");
}
}
I have a feeling that the task has something to do with using the "import" syntax (namely something like import loadanotherfile.* but even if my guess is correct, I'm still not sure on how to make my Loadanotherfile.java run otherfile.java using code.
How can I load otherfile.java using Loadanothefile.java?
Cheers
In Loadanotherfile.java
otherfile.main(args);
Compile the two together, and then from Loadanotherfile,
otherfile.main(args);
will do the trick. You don't need to import since you're in the same package. Note the linked tutorial.
I would investigate (however) class instantiation, and creating an instance of a new class to invoke upon. Invoking static methods from static methods isn't very OO.
Try This:
className.main(Args){
}
This works! ive tested it myself.
Check the public void main line. If there IOException and not there then insert
in Loadanotherfile.java
use this
otherfile.main(args);{
}

Notice that the run option for the main class is greyed out. I tried restarting intelliJ, rebuilding, cleaning, everything.

Move your code inside of the src folder. Once it's there, it'll be compiled on-the-fly every time it's saved.
IntelliJ only recognizes files in specific locations as part of the project - namely, anything inside of a blue folder is specifically considered to be source code.
Also - while I can't see all of your source code - be sure that it's proper Java syntax, with a class declared the same as the file and that it has a main method (specifically public static void main(String[] args)). IntelliJ won't run code without a main method (rather, it can't - neither it nor Java would know where to start).
Use
public static void main(String[] args))
Your main method requires a String array or varargs argument to be picked up.
Correct your main() method, from:
public static void main() {...}
to
public static void main(String[] args) {...}
The file "HelloDemo.java" path is "/test/hello/HelloDemo.java"
package test.hello;
public class HelloDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Hello!!");
}
}
when I "run" it, an error occurred.
Building HelloDemo.java and running HelloDemo
Error: Could not find or load main class HelloDemo
Then, I changed the code.
//package test.hello;
public class HelloDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Hello!!");
}
}
when I "Run" it, code success output.
Building HelloDemo.java and running HelloDemo
Hello!!
This is the screenshot about the "Run".
I fixed an error, but I don't konw why, I need help, Thank you!
If I want to keep the package uncomment, How to fix it?
That's because you probably changed the location of your file after running it once already. Hence, the running configuration should change to look for the new test.hello.HelloDemo class inside the built jar and not for HelloDemo anymore (which was probably in the default package, initially). What is your IDE?
Remark: This is not because you changed the location of your file that the classpath changed, and vice-versa.
On IntelliJ, you should do this: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-editing-run-debug-configurations.html
Create a package using your IDE and add your class to it. Package name will be appended to top automatically.
Reguardless of IDE, folder structure should match package structure, your problem could be here.
A class's name is actually the package plus the class name. You cannot run HelloDemo in your first case, because that is not the class name. The class name is test.hello.HelloDemo.
By commenting out the package, you've essentially renamed the class to HelloDemo, so it runs.
In addition, when running the class with main, you must be in the correct location. For instance, if the class is test.hello.HelloDemo, your folder structure will be /test/hello/HelloDemo.java.
You must be in / and run test.hello.HelloDemo from there.
So my first time using Eclipse doing an elementary program. I noticed that in Eclipse, you cannot compile a single class file. Rather you need to create a project on top of that. So I did create a project and created a class under the project. I noticed the code
package PackageName;
at the top of the class file. And if I delete the file and run the file, it gives me errors. May anyone answer me why is this happening? Thanks.
My code:
public class CSYes {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Computer Science, Yes!!!!");
System.out.println("=========================");
}
}
Error Message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
at proj1.CSYes.main(CSYes.java:3)
However, If I have
package proj1;
public class CSYes {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Computer Science, Yes!!!!");
System.out.println("=========================");
}
}
It works perfectly fine.
The Eclipse IDE encourages you to use packages. In general, it's a good idea. I'd encourage you to use packages, too.
It is NOT, however, a requirement. It sounds like you inadverantly created a "proj1" package when you created the project and/or .java class. Whoops!
To fix the problem, simply a) delete the package reference in your .java source, then b) move the .java file OUT of "/src/proj1" and put in directly under "/src" (the "default package").
... OR, EASIER ...
Delete the entire source (both CSYes.java and proj1)
File > New > Java Class > Name= CSYes; leave package "blank" (i.e. "default package")
Copy/paste your code back into CSYes.
Voila! Done :)
I have looked through many answers to similar questions. But couldn't narrow down to a solution.
Following is the code: (Simplifying names for readability)
First class:
package p1;
public class C1 {
public static void test() {
System.out.println("Boom!");
}
}
Second class:
package p2;
import p1;
public class C2 {
public static void main(String[] params) {
C1.test();
}
}
Clean-Build doesn't give any error. (No compilation error)
But at runtime I'm getting following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: C1.test()V
at C2.main(C2.java:6)
Java Result: 1
P.S. I'm using Netbeans.
This means that you are running your class C2 with an old version of class C1 in the classpath (a version that did not yet have the test() method).
Make sure you don't have old versions of C1.class somewhere. Remove all your *.class files and recompile everything, and then try to run it again.
Addition: As Kevin Bowersox noted in a comment, your main method must look like this:
public static void main(String[] args)
It must take a String[] as an argument.
It will properly compile and run only if main function will have String tab as args.
But also check versions of class C1 and C2, try rebuild your project to recompile that classes.
public static void main(String args[]) {
C1.test();
}
i think you should import it as
import p1.*;
Than you will get access to all classes and member functions in it.
Netbeans sometimes likes to get stuck after some changes and clean build doesn't work then.
Try editing each file that has been recently modified and saving it again (e.g. put a whitespace in a random place). After that, clean and build the project again.
If my memory refreshes and as Jesper pointed out, I also encountered that same issue NoSuchMethodFoundException under that same scenario (having still old class references that have not been cleaned).
I just copied your code snippets with 2 different packages directly in to my netbean, compiled and runned C2. It did print the BOOM! message.
In my case using :
public static void main(String args[]){
}
does not make a difference when I compiled and runned the code.
public static void main(String params[]){
}
It makes sense since the main class should have the correct method signature of main.
Here args or params, should not make a huge difference, I believe; as what we have inside the method is simply a reference for the inner body of the method that it uses.
Still definitely it is good practice to follow the standard signature for main.
I would recommend to clean the project and copy the contents from scratch in a new project and build it again, sometimes netbeans can go crazy.
My file name is Temp.java and inside it I have this. I'm using eclipse IDE
/*package*/ class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("test");
}
}
So I was unable to run this as java application. I change my class name to Temp
class Temp {
....
}
Now I can. Can someone explain me why ?
This is probably a limitation of Eclipse. The code runs well from command line.
As I understand, you are trying to embed your unit tests in the same file with the class under test. This is a nice idea and I totally concur with it. You can read more about how you can succeed in Ben J. Christensen's blog post. Generally, he suggests placing the tests in a static inner class, not a standalone class in the same file.
An example from the Netflix Hystrix framework: HystrixCircuitBreaker.UnitTest
The code below, located in Temp.java, compiles and runs fine with Netbeans:
class Whatever {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hello");
}
}
The problem is with eclipse, i think you are trying to run using right click -> run as -> Java Application, unfortunately eclipse is not showing this option if the class is not public.
But you can still run the class using Alt+Shift+X,J.
Its not the problem with Java, its with Eclipse.
The name of the file should be the same as the class name which is public and has the main() method. In your first case the file name Temp.java will compile and will create Test.class file not Temp.class because there is no Temp class declared in your file.
after .class file is created , run it with java Test
so here's an example
//Filename abc.java
public class hi
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hell");
}
}
the output
abc.java:1: class hi is public, should be declared in a file named hi.java
public class hi
^
1 error
but if you do this
//Filename abc.java
class hi
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hell");
}
}
it will create hi.class file so
D:\>java hi
Hell
The class (which main should be run) inside the .java file must have the same name as the file. If the class is not public (as in your case) the class will compile but it can't be run since Eclipse tries to load the class according to the file name.
