Hi

i just now started with linux and have very basic knowledge of vi script, commands and all. may i know , knowing all this can i shift to java programming on linux.
and may i also know any tutorial or book , which i can refer?

Thanking in advance

Java programming in linux is the same as everywhere else. If you know Jva, you can execute your code anywhere, linux doesn't make it anything different.

Regards

May i know what all i need to have to do run my java code on linux except knowing java and having linux.

any tutorial to know how to run the code and its whereabouts?

Thanks

You need JDK and JRE like you would in windows or elsewhere.
Compile as usual : javac prgname.java
Execute as usual : prgname

If you are looking for a good Java book, read Java: the complete reference by Herbert Schildt

Regards

If you search using "linux java eclipse tutorial" you should be able to find what you are looking for...

Google is always a good reference. Its exactly the same on Windows. You can download and install netbeans if you wish, or use similar editors you would use in Windows. If you want to use commandline its the same as well.

javac test.java
java test

jar also exists the same as it does on Windows. You might need to tell Linux the default program to run the jar file when you double click, because sometimes it tries to run it with a file extracting program instead by default.

Thanks everyone

Got my answer

Thanks alot

so there's no difference in the syntax in java between windows and linux?

Are you asking about the language itself, or the command line program "java"? If the former: no, why would there be? It's a programming language, so why should it depend on the platform you're using? The language just gives the programmer an interface to the computer - the details of the platform and architecture should be hidden from the programmer, since they don't really need to know about those (in some sense) for high level programming. Of course, some details will differ between platforms - like specifying paths to files, for example. However, these aren't part of the languages concerned.

ok thanks for replying as thats what i wanted to know
