Java SDK Overview

Ivy Windows VMs are installed with Java SDK 1.8. Java is a popular Object-Oriented programming
language and is used in a multitude of scenarios. It is available under the GNU General Public
License for all users. The SDK consists of a large number of tools such as javac that
help in application development.

Running Java commands from the Command Prompt

Open a Windows Command Prompt and enter java followed by the desired command. E.g. to find
the version of the SDK

java -version

Running your code

To compile java code, first cd to the location of your .java file and then do

javac <your_class_name>.java

After the java compiler runs and gives no errors, a .class file would be created. Run the following command to see the output:

java <your_class_name>

Important Note

While Ivy VMs have full support for the Java SDK, certain aspects of programming full-scale Java on Ivy may not work without running into issues.
In order to execute Java programs correctly, please load the entire package into the VM’s storage instead of compiling it on the VM.
