    Check under Configure, Preferences, Tools, Compile Java. Make sure the Parameters and Initial Folder match what you use at school. You can also check "Prompt for parameters".

    In the worst case, open a Command Prompt and use javac manually.

    Open Source is free like a puppy is free.

    If you're still stuck try www.jcreator.com . It should find your Java installation and run pretty smoothly.

    They also have a good FAQ section if you click the 'Support' button.

    When you edited the last message, it didn't bring the post back to the top.

    In my setup, I have the following set:

    Parameters: $File -cp .; [the rest of my classpath here]
    Initial Folder: $FileDir


    Thinking about it, it's probably your classpath that's messed up. What errors are you getting when you try to compile? Is it not finding symbols that should be there? You're probably missing a directory or jar file in the classpath then.

    Open Source is free like a puppy is free.

    If you are looking for a free Java Compiler, you might want to check out Eclipse. It has some really nice features like CVS.
