Java classpath tutorial (ClassLoader, NoClassDefFoundError, JVM, javac, javap -c, java -cp, jar cvf)

[@michal234486]

That was brilliant. Make a bigger series on those overlooked low level essentials of Java, please :)

[@isaact4315]

I agree. I overlooked some of this stuff when I first started on Java and now here I am looking for videos like this lol. I'd like a continuation of this video talk about how classpaths are related to namespace and directory structure, and go into the innards of the jar file like the manifest file.

[@cleyxds7112]

with all the IDEs features, i had no idea what's happening in the background, this video helped me alot thank you!

[@amdphreak]

This was refreshingly direct. Thank you. Sick of all these other tutorials that never explain things from the ground up.

[@karaira4862]

your video is excellent experiment on the details of java/javac, kudos 👍👍

[@rodtaylor6585]

I wished I found your video yesterday. I just spent the whole day trying to find out about this!! Thank you very much!!

[@SeniorMarsTries]

Great video on how to use -cp. Honestly, I had no idea javap -c existed. Thanks for this.

[@mendown8045]

Absolutely brilliant video. We definitely need more of those!

[@TheMcallist1]

Stuff I should have known by now but finally do thanks to this video. Thank you

[@kettenbach]

Thanks man. Very clear example. ☝️😀

[@robert202]

So that is a class path. Well explained. Thank you!

[@abdulraqeebm.3305]

Amazing explanation, thank you for this helpful video.

[@satishmutyala7448]

Excellent tips

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@milad_mo]

Great example and explanation about one of the most confusing topics in Java, please do more such videos about the Java processes

[@kda_-uh3vj]

Hello Freed! It was a really good video, mainly because it was well explained. I hope you make more videos of this type (kind of like "java essentials") in the future, because I'm just starting and having some help would be a great :)

[@LuneAgent]

This was interesting to know, thanks!

thank you!!!

Danke dir

[@magiksity]

Brilliant, even though name ClassPath suggests the meaning, It is hard to understand until example (such as this) is shown.

[@programacion3694]

interesante, cuesta entederle pero buen video.

[@gmailservice9945]

what is -sourcepath used for in javac ???

[@chaoluncai4300]

hey man thx for this demo!! so at the end when you compiled Main.java with cp =../lib.jar , I notice you didn't include the working dir, which is . Is that a convention for compilation? Since when we run programs we do need to include both jar and working dir into classpath... thank you!

[@fredoverflow]

The classpath is for .class files, not .java files.

[@abdurhmanalsobhi4564]

thanks jesus

Please improve the sound

[@elizavetavinokurova7624]

@3:29 Compilation can't be successful in my case, unless the option -cp . is indicated. This is not the first time I ought to specify classpath, actually, I have to specify it every time, but I guess this is because I don't have CLASSPATH variable defined in system variables? Could you fill me in on any details that I might have missed?

[@fredoverflow]

Actually, it's the other way around; if compilation fails without -cp . then you have a CLASSPATH variable which overrides the default. Depending on your operating system, try one of the following: echo %CLASSPATH% echo $CLASSPATH This should show you the overriding value.

[@elizavetavinokurova7624]

6:20 also in my case it only works if I use double quotation marks for the cp as in following: java -cp "..;." Main. Any thoughts? upd. it's quite a pain to figure it out on your own because the topic itself is difficult and i have to follow everything to the T but even then it's not uncommon for something to go wrong; it has already gone twice during the video. upd.2 but anyway the video is great! :)

[@elizavetavinokurova7624]

@@fredoverflow omg that is so true! thank you so much! It is defined to Tomcat lib that apparently I used during the course I was taking to become a java programmer so that I could find a job. Speaking about it, is it still relevant to learn java or are there more promising directions? ps. your channel is good - you deserve so much more subs!

[@fredoverflow]

@@elizavetavinokurova7624 Are you using Git Bash on Windows? That's the only constellation I know which needs quotes and semicolon. (CMD and PowerShell should work without the quotes.)

[@fredoverflow]

@@elizavetavinokurova7624 Technology is highly regional; scan the local job ads. My employer uses Java in ~90% of projects.

[@pearlvtv412]

how come your Windows system uses bash?

[@fredoverflow]

Git for Windows comes with Git Bash. During installation, there is an option to make its bash commands available from the ordinary Windows Command Prompt (cmd), as well.
