Hi,

I have just installed a copy of JBuilder 2005 Enterprise
and naively tried to use it straight away
and build a standard old fashioned �console
application.�

But it will not let me compile it and
it tries to add extra code as if it is a form or a window GUI!!

How do I tell the compiler [JBuilder 2005 Enterprise]
to compile it to a console application?

Or doe the JBuilder 2005 Enterprise only build advanced
GUI based applications?

Help please � I would gratefully appreciate some advice.

Regards
Richard Neville

Nothing too naive about that.

Check the "generate main method".

Finish.

Make a runtime configuration (don't know how to do it? read
the manual), and run.

Done.  You've run your first console app in JBuilder without
adding any code.  Of course it didn't do anything, but it
ran and it was a so-called console app.

It doesn't if you have read the manual.  I'm guessing
you didn't start with File > New > Class, but with something
like Application or Frame or ...?

It doesn't have anything to do with telling JBuilder how
to compile something.  It's the structure of your Java
class which determines whether it is a GUI, Web, or
console app.

 From the sounds of it, you are new to Java as well.
If so, it's the best time to get a good book on it,
if you are serious about it.  At least give the java.sun.com
site a good read, especially the tutorials.

Oh, boy.  I'll leave that until after you've read the
manual.
