Passing variables via command line

[mplar]

Dear all,

I am new to Netbeans and as way of a tutorial, I am trying pass variables
from the command line to a simple programme that I have constructed using
Netbeans. I am using the MS-Dos command prompt, and typing the following to
try to pass the variables Var1, Var2, Var3, Var4 into "program_name":

c:\> java program_name Var1 Var2 Var3 Var4 <ENTER>

However, when I type this, I get the following error message: Exception in
thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: program_name

caused by:
etc, etc.

Could not find the main class: program_name. Program will exit

Hi,

you should start with some introductory tutorial first - first of all,
the issue you are facing is very unlikely related to command line arguments:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/index.html

Also, this issue is not about NetBeans - you would find better answers
on Java forums...

Anyway - you already have your program in NetBeans, right? Invoke
Clean&Build action on the project in the Projects view. Then, open the
command line and navigate to the folder where the project is. There
should be a folder called "dist" in the projects folder - go to the
folder ("cd dist"). You should find a JAR archive there (file with "jar"
extension) - you can run it using:

java -jar MyProject.jar arg1 arg2

With regards,
