If your Main class is in a package called FileManagement, then try:
java -cp . FileManagement.Main
in the parent folder of the FileManagement folder.
If your Main class is not in a package (the default package) then cd to the FileManagement folder and try:
java -cp . Main

Guys let's understand the syntax of it.
If class file is present in the Current Dir.
java -cp . fileName
If class file is present within the Dir. Go to the Parent Dir and enter below cmd.
java -cp . dir1.dir2.dir3.fileName
If there is a dependency on external jars then,
java -cp .:./jarName1:./jarName2 fileName
Hope this helps.

You can use java.lang.Runtime.exec to run simple code. This gives you back a Process and you can read its standard output directly without having to temporarily store the output on disk.
For example, here's a complete program that will showcase how to do it:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class testprog {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String s;
Process p;
try {
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls -aF");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("line: " + s);
p.waitFor();
System.out.println ("exit: " + p.exitValue());
p.destroy();
} catch (Exception e) {}
}
}
When compiled and run, it outputs:
line: ./
line: ../
line: .classpath*
line: .project*
line: bin/
line: src/
exit: 0
as expected.
You can also get the error stream for the process standard error, and output stream for the process standard input, confusingly enough. In this context, the input and output are reversed since it's input from the process to this one (i.e., the standard output of the process).
If you want to merge the process standard output and error from Java (as opposed to using 2>&1 in the actual command), you should look into ProcessBuilder.
You can also write a shell script file and invoke that file from the java code. as shown below
{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("./your_script.sh");
proc.waitFor();
}
Write the linux commands in the script file, once the execution is over you can read the diff file in Java.
The advantage with this approach is you can change the commands with out changing java code.
To compile the file, open your terminal and type
javac filename.java
To run the generated class file, use
java filename
But to do this you need to have the Java JDK installed in your computer. You can install it with the instructions in How do I install Java?.
OpenJDK works best for me. It's simple and I have never faced any problem with it. Just follow these simple steps:
From Terminal install open jdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdkWrite a java program and save the file as filename.java
Now to compile use this command from the terminal
javac filename.javaIf everything works well then a new "filename.class" file should be created.
To run your program that you've just compiled type the command below in terminal:
java filename
NOTE
You can use any text editor (like gedit) ,
replace the filename with watever name you want
you need to be on same directory as the "present working directory" (got by running pwd) while running the command from terminal.
