Ted.class it works when run from forte but get the following error when
run from JDK Dos console. What is wrong? Thank you ^_~

Is the class in a package? I don't actually have forte so I can only
comment on what the error looks like. If the class is in a package
you need to use its full name when trying to run it from command line:

java examples.texteditor.Ted

And you need to be in the directory containing examples/texteditor/Ted.

1) Does the TextEditor in a package or ...?

2) You might need special jar files that are included in the forte
classpath.

Hi,

This sounds like a classpath problem. It looks
like the class file is not being found. Is the
current directory on the classpath?

BTW, there is a news server/mailing list for these
questions, monitored by Sun support personnel, at
news://news.netbeans.com - you may want to check
it out.

The reason you are getting an error from the Command Prompt is that you
are not passing in the correct class.

The class Ted is in the package examples.texteditor.

so to run it you need to be in

E:\java\forte4j\Development

and run

java examples.texteditor.Ted
