Is it possible to use the external terminal when running a Java program through Netbeans?

Question

What I mean is, I can switch to getting Netbeans output out on Linux bash or Windows cmd instead of using the internal Netbeans application console?

Answer 1

Assuming your class is an executable class, has a main method, navigate the terminal to the directory your class is in, then type:

// command to compile

javac Suaclasse.java

// Command to execute

java Suaclasse

Example:

    public class SuaClasse { 
        public static void main(String[] args){ 
           System.out.println("Hello World Pelo Terminal =D"); 
        } 
     }

Using the terminal:

    mac@pc:~$ javac SuaClasse.java
    mac@pc:~$ java SuaClasse
    Hello World Pelo Terminal =D

Answer 2

Not only is it possible but it’s super easy, as long as you’re with your environment variables (path) well configured. Also, for smaller applications I consider even easier (I only have problems generating the .jar[laughter]).

Example class:

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

In the CMD:

c\> javac MinhaClasse.java
c\> java MinhaClasse.class
Hello, world

In the terminal:

user@Desktop:~$ javac MinhaClasse.java
user@Desktop:~$ java MinhaClasse.class
Hello, world
