run java code through bat file

[nancy andrew]

I want to run a java standalone program using a batch file. How can i do it

[nancy andrew]

I tried running through the following code in batch file. But nothing happens.

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.5.0_09
set PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin
set CLASSPATH=

echo "Launching Java Application..." 
java -jar "C:\Users\Desktop\batch file test" 

Can anyone please tell what to modify or change in the above

Well, if you're running a jar file, you should probably include the .jar extension.

That's not a JAR file on line 6, is it?

I dont want to make jar file . I want to run my java file. I got that piece of code through internet. That is wrong and not working. Kindly tell me how to correct it. There is a simple HelloWorld.java standalone program. I want to run it using batch file

at line 6 use following instruction

java "path to location in which helloworld.class present"/Helloworld (do not include .class)

[Rob Spoor]

No, definitely not. It's

java -cp <path to the root of the package structure> <class name including package>

You are right Rob,
In hurry forgot to put -cp in command.

Thanks for correction.

Also note, that since the paths contain spaces, you must enclose them in quotes:

set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.5.0_09"
set PATH="C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin"
