COMPILATION PROBLEM

[alice parker]

hi all,
Being a beginner in java application programmer, I m having a problem in running a simple java program stored at <c:\java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin> on my PC. following error occurs each time I try compiling it(prog.java)as[ C:\java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin>javac prog.c ]

1 error: "system class doesnot exist"
here goes my so simple program:

class prog
{
public static void main(String args[])
{ system.out.println("hello java");
}
}

as far as I know there seems to be some prob in settings or so..
Plzzz help me out so dat I can move on..
TIA

Java is case sensitive. I think you meant the System (with a capital S) class.

And BTW, I think you want you source file named "prog.java", not "prog.c".

Also, the bin directory is for Java's internal workings. Adding your own files there is really asking for trouble.
