Thread: Problems with running and compiling application

You need to compile it. Your best bet is something like ant or some other automated build tool. Otherwise you'll have to import the code into your IDE to compile.

Yes, you'll need that. There are examples out there that should be very simple to modify. To get you started:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
<project name="project_name" default="compile" basedir=".">
	<!-- location properties -->
	<property name="build.dir" location="build" />
	<property name="src.dir" location="src" />
 
	<!-- compile time value properties -->
	<property name="compile.debug" value="true" />
	<property name="compile.optimize" value="false" />
	<property name="compile.deprecation" value="true" />
	<property name="compile.source" value="1.6"/>
	<property name="compile.target" value="1.6"/>
	<property name="compile.checked" value="-Xlint:-path"/>
 
	<path id="the.jars">
		<fileset dir="lib">
			<include name="bcel-5.2.jar" />
			<include name="bsh-2.0b4.jar" />
			<include name="colt.jar" />
			<include name="jargs.jar" />
			<include name="jython.jar" />
			<include name="log4j-1.2.15.jar" />
		</fileset>
	</path>
 
	<target name="compile">
		<mkdir dir="${dest.classes.dir}"/>
 
		<javac srcdir="${src.dir}"
				destdir="${dest.classes.dir}"
				debug="${compile.debug}"
				deprecation="${compile.deprecation}"
				optimize="${compile.optimize}"
				source="${compile.source}"
				target="${compile.target}"
				includeAntRuntime="false">
			<compilerarg value="${compile.checked}" />
			<classpath refid="the.jars" />
		</javac>
	</target>
 
 
	<!-- clean -->
	<target name="clean" depends="checks">
		<delete dir="${dest.classes.dir}"/>
	</target>
</project>

this is completely untested but is based on a build.xml I use.
