Basic Compile Errors

Purpose: Teach About the Common Errors
compiler errors

Code:

---

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

---

This is the most common. to fix open you compiler and paste this in

Code:

---

@echo off
title compile
echo compiling please wait
"c: program files\java\JAVAVERSIONHERE\bin\javac.exe" *java
pause

---

Replace the JAVAVERIONHERE with you jdk version and your done ;)

Code:

---

Class names, 'CLASSHERE, are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested

---

This one means you didn't save the CLASSHERE file as java

Syntax Errors

Code:

---

System.out.println("Test")
                                    ^
; expected

---

Simple place a ";" after )

Code:

---

'}' expected
  }

---

simpily add a }

Code:

---

illegal start of expression
public void error {

---

Again simpily add a } ABOVE it

Code:

---

'class' or 'interface' expected
}

---

In private server's if you recieve this message you will most likely get 100 errors.
To fix add a } where ever you are missing one.

Code:

---

unclosed string literal
    System.out.print(your message here? ");
                                      ^

---

if you get this it means you are missing a "

Code:

---

cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Example
location: class Test
    Example console = new Example();

---

Remember that private servers are case sensitiv, this means that Example != example.
The fix either change case

Another error that might recieve this is if you haven't declared some thing

Code:

---

cannot find symbol
Prayer = false

---

This means that you don't have the Prayer Boolean.

OR you could get this

Code:

---

cannot find symbol
public bool prayer = false

---

Spelling mistakes cause this, it should be

Code:

---

public boolean prayer = false

---

Code:

---

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test

---

This means you are trying to run the server with out compiling it yet. To fix simply compile

Code:

---

client.java:00002 missing return statement
}

---

Occurs when you are missing a true or false. Simpily add a true or false above it

Code:

---

IOException e is never thrown around in body of try statement

---

remove the IO simple :d


If you have anymore errors please post them and i will add to list
