The -d flags come before anything else on the command line; they set system properties or change the behaviour of the JVM.

the syntax is :

javac -d <target-path> -c <classpath> <source.java>

-d option is most helpful if you are declaring packages in the Source code(*.java) files.

-c is used to provide the external classes or library that will be needed by the compiler to compile the source code

can you please provide a simple example

for eg:

javac -d d:\classes\ -c d:\sources\ Test.java
