Java Language Compiler

Description

Java Language Compiler is a simple C program that automates the process of compiling and running Java programs. It takes the file name of a Java source file as input, compiles it using the javac command, and then runs the compiled Java program using the java command.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.

Usage

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ShingareOm/JavaLanguageCompiler.git

Compile the C program:

gcc main.c -o JavaCompiler

Run the program:

./JavaCompiler

Enter the Java source file name (without the .java extension) when prompted.
The program will compile the Java file and execute it automatically.

Making the Executable File Global

For Linux and macOS Users
- If you are using Linux or macOS, you can add the JavaCompiler executable to a directory in your system's PATH, so you can run it from anywhere in the terminal.
- After compiling the C program and obtaining the JavaCompiler executable, move it to a directory that you want to use for storing your globally accessible executables. For example, you can create a bin directory in your home folder and move the JavaCompiler executable there.
- Open your terminal and navigate to your home directory (or any other location where you stored the JavaCompiler executable).
- Run the following command to open your shell's profile file in a text editor. Depending on the shell you are using, the profile file could be .bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc, or something similar.
```
nano .bashrc
```
- Add the following line at the end of the profile file. Replace /path/to/bin with the actual path to the directory containing the JavaCompiler executable.
```
export PATH="/path/to/bin:$PATH"
```
- Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter (if you're using nano).
- Refresh your shell by running the following command:
```
source .bashrc
```
- Now you should be able to run the JavaCompiler executable from anywhere in the terminal.
```
JavaCompiler
```
- Please ensure that the JavaCompiler executable is in a secure and trusted location, as adding directories to the PATH can potentially pose security risks if you include untrusted or malicious executables.
For Windows Users
- If you are using Windows, you can add the JavaCompiler executable to a directory in your system's PATH to run it from anywhere in the Command Prompt or PowerShell.
- After compiling the C program and obtaining the JavaCompiler executable, move it to a directory that you want to use for storing your globally accessible executables. For example, you can create a bin directory in your C:\ drive and move the JavaCompiler executable there.
- Open the Start menu, type "environment variables," and select "Edit the system environment variables."
- Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom right.
- In the "System Variables" section, scroll down and find the "Path" variable. Click "Edit."
- Click "New" and enter the full path to the directory containing the JavaCompiler executable (e.g., C:\bin).
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
- Open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window (or restart your existing one).
- Now you should be able to run the JavaCompiler executable from anywhere in the Command Prompt or PowerShell.
```
JavaCompiler
```
- Please ensure that the JavaCompiler executable is in a secure and trusted location, as adding directories to the PATH can potentially pose security risks if you include untrusted or malicious executables.
