Odd characters when reading and writing

javac foo/bar/Zoo.java
java foo.bar.Zoo Bronx Zoo

from the 'folder' directory. You have to run the commands from the directory which contains your package. In your case your file is at com/cha/iru/Zoo.java. What you need to do is navigate to the folder which com is in. Go and do that. Once you are in com's parent folder, you will need to run

javac com/cha/iru/Zoo.java
java com.cha.iru.Zoo Bronx Zoo

(of course, if you are on Windows, the slashes go the other way). Don't forget to leave the

package com.cha.iru;

at the top of your file. Now try it.

Hello, I am having some trouble working with JEE on Linux :
especially in reading writing I/O in files it shows the wished result but it is mixed with different characters which wasn't included in my program ,
is there a special command/ line to add when launching files via LInux ?

Please search for Joel Spolsky's article about everything a developer needs to know about text encoding. (Maybe this is it.) I would suggest you start by finding out which encoding your file is using, and what your program is using. Most programs on a Linux box will use UTF‑8 as a default. Also, are you using data input streams or similar for reading? A data input stream is probably not suitable for reading text files.in
