Error: Could not find or load main class in Textpad 8

Question

I've been trying to get back into programming and I've been redoing some old labs. I'm setting up Textpad 8 so I can run java applications and it works fine until I add a package statement like so:

package pkg;

public class inPkg{
    public static void main(String args[]){
            System.out.println("Hello World");
    }
}

The file's location: C:\214\pkg\inPkg.java When I compile everything is fine but when I try to run it, I get this error message:

Error: Could not find or load main class inPkg

Tool completed with exit code 1

Compile Java Tool:

Parameters: javac -classpath "$FileDir;h:\214\;c:\214\;" $File

Run Java Application Tool:

Parameters: java -classpath "$FileDir;h:\214\;c:\214\;" $BaseName

These tools are the only thing I changed in the configuration. The classpath have been written to follow the lab. instructions.

PS. Without the packages statement, the application runs perfectly.

Because probably you are not using the fully qualified class name when you do the java run. use

java -classpath 'your class path' pkg.inPkg

So like, i have the file in C:\214\pkg\inPkg.java. Therefore, my parameter should be: java -classpath C:\214\pkg\inPkg? – Danny Jun 21 '18 at 18:34

It will compile and execute correctly with following commands

C:\214>javac.exe pkg\inPkg.java
C:\214>java.exe pkg.inPkg

Note that the file location is C:\214\pkg\inPkg.java, however you execute the commands from C:\214
