Starting java on FreeBSD 8.1

[rwaqa]

Hi!

I have successfully installed java on a FreeBSD 8.1 box but not too sure how to start java.

Below is the version:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Diablo Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b02)
Diablo Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

Please assist.


Best Regards,
Waqa

You're already starting it. There isn't a 'service' that needs to be running.

 

[fluca1978]

Java is a command line interpreter (could discuss about this word, doesn't matter here!), so you don't have to start it unless you have a program to run, like:

java HelloWorld

being HelloWorld a compiled Java class that contains a main.
You can get help with:

java -h
