I have 2x .java files, that I eventually want to compile into a single .jar
My plan is for the first .java file to act as a "menu" that then opens the actual program which is the other .java file.
So again, I'm trying to "run" a .java/.class file from inside of a .java file.
I'm a beginner FYI, so I'm not familiar with all of the abbreviations and such.
Tried searching around but cannot find a solution pretty much anywhere. Thanks

Hey, @undone parcel!
Please remember to /close this post once your question has been answered!

My p...
It would be a lot better idea to package your java classes together
undone parcel
And how to do that xd
opal stratus
As in declare them with the same package, and have them in the same folder.
Are you using the command line to compile and run?
undone parcel
Using the command line to compile yes
undone parcel
As in declare them with the same package, and have them in the same folder.
Just not sure how to do that without it turning into a huge mess of code
opal stratus
You can add
package xyz; // descriptive package name here
On the first line of both files
undone parcel
And packages are only for .class files correct?
opal stratus
Then you can create a new object from either files in either files again
opal stratus
And packages are only for .class files correct?
They are for linking your java source files together
undone parcel
Right..
opal stratus
So they are for .class files and .java files too in a way
But you write them in your java file
undone parcel
Doesn't let me use the package thing tho
opal stratus
Compiler will convert it to class file
undone parcel
So the two .java files are in the same folder,
In menu.java I've put "package SC;" at the top
in SC.java I've put "package menu;" at the top
opal stratus
Should I send you an example from an earlier project I helped with?
opal stratus
So the two .java files are in the same folder,
In menu.java I've put "package ...
Both files must have same package name
That's how javac links them
undone parcel
Oh, I thought it was the filenames that was needed
so I just make a new name for the "package"?
opal stratus
Yeah
undone parcel
"The declared package "ChristmasCard" does not match the expected package "" "
undone parcel
If you'd like
opal stratus
"The declared package "ChristmasCard" does not match the expected package "" "
Please show that.
undone parcel
I'm just not really sure how it works, since it doesn't seem to work as you've described
opal stratus
opal stratus
"The declared package "ChristmasCard" does not match the expected package "" "
That's strange?
undone parcel
Oh yeah oops, but the file structure is the same on both of them
undone parcel
Do you get the error when you run javac on them?
Can try
So I run javac on both of them? or only one?
opal stratus
Try any one first ig
undone parcel
Well still doesn't work
opal stratus
Pls show the error
undone parcel
"The declared package "ChristmasCard" does not match the expected package "" "
Same one
But I can't edit the .class file right? So I look inside the other .java file
opal stratus
Expected package "" ?
opal stratus
But I can't edit the .class file right? So I look inside the other .java file
No you can but ideally shouldn't
undone parcel
Oh I'll try that then
Just a bunch of errors and readable text here and there
Doesn't really tell me much
Oh, I didn't know they had to be under the same folder with the same name as the package
Yeah that works now, the package
Now I'm not really sure what to do, since it needs to run the class "menu" and then run the class "SC" when a button is pressed
But now that these two are packaged together, how would you go about determining which class runs? And which one runs first?
Or do I only have a main method in one of the files?
How do I run a class from a package?
So right now the package works as intended, now I need to figure out how to :
Decide what class runs first
How to run the other class from the first one - since currently I'm able to get it start from the main, but not from the start of the actual class so some of the vars don't init

D...
Sorry something had come up. I'm back.
undone parcel
No worries
I've basically got it working now, it's just that it's running SC.java from the main method, and not from the actual start of the class
Which means some specific variables aren't initalized
undone parcel
I'm trying to run menu.java which then runs the class SC
opal stratus
Can I request for the code if you're okay?
undone parcel
Sure
