Problems with compile applet

[coco]

I'm wanting to have a go at java. I've been trying to get the SDK from the java sun site, but every time I finally download it, it gives me an error, about it being corrupt. So, can I use any other java programs that does the same as this SDK program? As you can see, I don't know what it does, I just read that I need it to compile applets.

Hi, I got the jdk1.1.8 but every time I'm trying to compile it, it's saying:

error: Can't read: HelloWorldApp.java
1 error

Here's the command I'm typing in DOS:

C:\>jdk1.1.8\bin\javac HelloWorldApp.java
I put the HelloWorldApp.java file in the bin directory too. Can anyone help me

public class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Display "Hello World!"
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

Thanks.

Try this:

class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Display "Hello World!"
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

To compile:

javac HelloWorldApp.java

To run it:

java HelloWorldApp

And yes you should put that file in the bin directory unless you have set up classpaths to point to somewhere else.
