how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

can u show us your code??

The code of this test as following:
======================
import java.util.*;

public class HelloDate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello, it's: ");
    System.out.println(new Date());
  }
}
======================
thanks!

Can you compile the code you gave OK on Win2K?

The following is the informations of javac,I think the trouble must be the .jar file.
************
D:\jdk\bin>javac -verbose d:\jdk\source\HelloDate.java
[parsing started d:\jdk\source\HelloDate.java]
[parsing completed 188ms]
[loading D:\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/lang/Object.class)]
[loading D:\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/lang/String.class)]
[checking HelloDate]
[loading D:\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/lang/System.class)]
[loading D:\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/io/PrintStream.class)]

[loading D:\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/util/Date.class)]

If the complie is ok the loading should be loaded.Can you tell me why?
I use the JDK 1.4 on WIN2000.
Thannks!

OK. First, are java and javac in your path (type path at the command line)? If not, add D:\jdk\bin to your path and while you're about it, you may as well add JAVA_HOME as d:\jdk as an environment variable. Come back when you've done it!

Yeah!I did it when I installed the java. But the thing is not smooth!

OK, so now you need to be in the d:\jdk\source directory, not bin. Try it again from there: javac HelloDate.java (why they had to require the file extension I don't know!).
Let me know what happens!

Yeah!I did it when I installed the java. But the thing is not smooth!

Ok,I do it as you told me and successful!
Thanks very much!

Thank you very much!CEHJ!
