this might work, i kept getting a nullpointer exception which doesn't make sense to me, because there was nothing mispelled, and all the files were where i specified them to be. &nbsp;i'm not sure what the &quot;test&quot; in your answer is, is that the path?<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
