Confused again

Hi to all members, i hope i am not pissing alo of you. Its just i am doing the reasearch and i get more confused.

This time i am stuck on one thing which is

When i make a helloworld programme (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/netbeans.html)
why can i not run it, i mean i understand i have to run it through netbeans which works, but say if i wanted to show it to a mate how would i show it to him? Will i have to open netbeans and then run it?

Thank you
If you dont understand please do let me know, will be more than happy to provide sc.

There are many ways to skin a cat

You can navigate to the folder where your class has been compiled and run it from there via a command prompt.

Otherwise, you can built your project once completed. From netbeans, open the help menu and search for "build". It should give you a list of options and how to perform a build operation suitable to your requirement.

hope that helps.

sorry for the late reply, but thank you for your help :)
