What’s the difference between a .class file and a .java file? I am trying to get my applet to work but currently I can only run it in Eclipse, I can’t yet embed in HTML.
Thanks
**Edit: How to compile with JVM then?
A .class file is a compiled .java file.
.java is all text and is human readable.
.class is binary (usually).
You compile a java file into a class file by going to the command line, navigating to the .java file, and running
You must have a java SDK installed on your computer (get it from Oracle), and make sure the javac.exe file is locatable in your computer’s PATH environment variable.
