Can we create a batch file to run Java program?

When you say "put it in the package" I suspect you put it in the src folder, whereas the classes will be in the bin folder

Forgot to mention if you have a package (which you should be using and I think you are) you will need to cd into the directory to compile the files then move out of the package to run the java function. A sample is given below:

@ECHO OFF

set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.;

cd test

ECHO Compiling Java Classes

javac *.java

ECHO Compiled Java Class

ECHO Running Java Class

cd ..

java test.RunMe

ECHO Successfully ran Java Class

cmd

test is the name of my package cd .. goes back up a level after compilation and RunMe is my main class. There is probably an easier way but I don't normally use a bat to compile/run java files :-)
