Hi all,

cud anyone help me with java.lang.Runtime. I am writing code to compile and execute another java class. The code is,
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class NewClass
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {

     try{
       Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
       Process proc = rt.exec("javac C:\\HelloWorld.java");
       StreamGobbler ig = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "output");
       ig.start();
       int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
       System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);

       proc = rt.exec("java C:\\HelloWorld");
       ig = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(),"printed version");
       StreamGobbler igErr = new StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(),"Error");
       ig.start();
       igErr.start();
       exitVal = proc.waitFor();

       System.out.println("ExitValue at the end"+exitVal);
     }catch(Exception e){}

    }
}

class StreamGobbler extends Thread
{
    InputStream is;
    String type;

    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type)
    {
        this.is = is;
        this.type = type;
    }

    public void run()
    {
        try
        {
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            String line=null;
            while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(type + ">" + line);
            } catch (IOException ioe)
              {
                ioe.printStackTrace();
              }
    }

}

the class compiles fine, but when I execute it, following error comes

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: C:\HelloWorld
Exception in thread "main"

Could anyone help me with this. I wud appreciate your help.

regards
Ghani.

Try using reflection for executing
