Java - hello world - using JDK only.

The below outlines steps to create and execute a Hello World Java program on a Windows system using just a JDK.

No IDE required, you can create and edit using Notepad or any other text editor.

1. Create a text file (main1.java) with these exact contents:

class MyApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Prints the string to the console.
    }
}

2. Save it and compile it to MyApp.class in the command line (open cmd.exe in the same folder where your main1.java is located):

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\javac.exe" main1.java

3. The above step created the bytecode file: MyApp.class

4. Run it:

>java -cp . MyApp

Output:

Hello World!
