Simple error, newbie question.

[Sean425]

I've just started attempting to learn Java, but when I tried to compile my "Hello World" program I got an error. I'm hoping someone here can help me fix it, I imagine it won't be to difficult, a little info: I have "jdk1.6.0_07" and "jre1.6.0_07"
in my Java folder, this is the code I'm trying to compile:

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        system.out.print("Hello World!");
    }
}
 

This is the .cmd file I'm using to compile:

@echo off
"javac.exe" *.java
pause
 

and this is the error I'm getting:

HelloWorld.java:3: package system does not exist
                       system.out.print("Hello World!");
                                 ^

Java is case sensitive. System != system.

I'm not sure what you mean, all of my "System"s are "system"s, I don't have any with capitalized letters in them.

I'm not sure what you mean, all of my "System"s are "system"s, I don't have any with capitalized letters in them.

Then they're all incorrect; the name of the class is 'System', not 'system'; that
was what r035198x was trying to tell you.

kind regards,
