Hi, compatriots!
I am here to begin learning Java. I just learnt to operate Eclipse. I posted a thread there with the heading:
To learn Eclipse via "Hello World" tutorial - which Checkbox?
Now without the elaborate visual forms, how could I have a Hello World printed on the console? What codes would I require to manually enter to get a Hello World output?
Thank you in anticipation!

I also learnt about input data. It is said in the page:

Typically, we want to provide input to our programs: data that they can process to produce a result. The simplest way to provide input data is illustrated in UseArgument.java. Whenever this program is executed, it reads the command-line argument that you type after the program name and prints it back out to the terminal as part of the message.

Welcome to the Ranch If you are still at the hello world stage, I think you shouldn't use Eclipse. Look at our FAQ, or this section in the Java™ Tutorials.
