You have to be at the right place in the directory tree. Try this:

C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX> javac -cp . de\vogella\xml\stax\read\TestRead.java

C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX> java -cp . de.vogella.xml.stax.read.TestRead

(note the -cp . is to put the current directory in the classpath).

Hi Jesper,

I did it, but did not work :

C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX\de\vogella\xml\stax>javac -cp . de\vogella\xml\stax\
read\TestRead.java
javac: file not found: de\vogella\xml\stax\read\TestRead.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

Because you are in the wrong directory.

Please read the commands and error messages and try to understand what the command is going to do, or what the error message means.

You are in the directory C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX\de\vogella\xml\stax and then you try to compile the file de\vogella\xml\stax\read\TestRead.java

It is ofcouse going to look for a file named C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX\de\vogella\xml\stax\de\vogella\xml\stax\read\TestRead.java
(note the directory names).

Make sure you are in the directory C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX and not C:\Majid\Javapractices\STAX\de\vogella\xml\stax
