error
javac: invalid flag: E:\IT 215 Java Programming\publicclassDVD.Java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

Tool completed with exit code 2

I am not sure what this means and it is the only preventing me from making my project function. Can you help?

1) How are you compiling this program? With an IDE or on the command line? The problem here is not with the code per se, but the actual statements calling the java compiler.
2) Please correct your code tags. The bottom tag has a backslash:
[/code]

tlouvierre... a couple of suggestions:

• Please use a meaninful title for your posts. "tlouvierre" does not indicate what the problem is. "What does "invalid flag" error mean?" would have been a much better descriptive title.
• So far, you have never indicated if the help you have recieved (in previous posts) was useful and much less have thanked people for trying to help you. That is not a very good way to try to get further help on forums.

Hello and How are you today? Well, to answer your implied question. I have a lot of trouble with Java Forums and getting a response. One time and one time only did I get a real answer and that was from and India guy which I do not have his name but he helped by telling me to put the words together instead of listing them apart for the public class and it worked but as far as anything else that I have asked questions on I get the run around and no answer at all. Not even a try but its ok because I figured it out myself. Thank you no applause. If I had just tried instead of panicing I would have had it.

I use an IDE called Text.pad. I have never heard of a command line what is that? You say the problem is with calling the java compiler. Like in the public class statement or something else?

Thank you to RamyaSivaKanth for helping me to complete a project in my Java Programming class.

I would like to know why conventional colleges chose to teach C++ and online colleges like University of Phoenix teach JAVA?

I'm not going to answer you the way I feel like answering you (counting patiently to 1000... 1, 2, 3, ...).
It's sad that you feel that the forums don't help you. I hope you have better luck with you're future posts.

I did not mean to implie that I have not recieved any help from Java. I just meant that I was still working on the errors when I asked you to help and I figured out most of the errors myself. I thought you would be happy about that. Java Forums speaks in Java code and I don't understand it. It is not plain enough english for me. Sorry. I will look else where.

No use in getting all upset... I'm not "shutting you out". We probably have a language misunderstanding someplace along the line. If you noticed, those were suggestions I gave you. Also, it's good for you to figure out the problems yourself... it means you're learning.
Again... I hope you get the the help you're looking for in future posts.

Luck,
CJSL

Thank you for quick response. I think that there was a huge misunderstanding and thank you for not shutting me out. That is a big relief. I am getting help with my problem solving right now as we speak. Thank you again. Bye for now.
