I have a Main.java and Test.java classes that I want to compile and run Main.java in Test.java code. Here is my code
Process pro1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("javac Main.java");
pro1.waitFor();
Process pro2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java Main");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pro2.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
I just print "ok" in Main.java but this code doesn't print anything. What is the problem ?
I have modified the code to include some checks:
public class Laj {
private static void printLines(String name, InputStream ins) throws Exception {
String line = null;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(ins));
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(name + " " + line);
}
}
private static void runProcess(String command) throws Exception {
Process pro = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
printLines(command + " stdout:", pro.getInputStream());
printLines(command + " stderr:", pro.getErrorStream());
pro.waitFor();
System.out.println(command + " exitValue() " + pro.exitValue());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
runProcess("javac Main.java");
runProcess("java Main");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Here is the Main.java:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("ok");
}
}
When everything is fine, it just works:
alqualos@ubuntu:~/tmp$ java Laj
javac Main.java exitValue() 0
java Main stdout: ok
java Main exitValue() 0
Now, for example, if I have some error in Main.java:
alqualos@ubuntu:~/tmp$ java Laj
javac Main.java stderr: Main.java:3: package Systems does not exist
javac Main.java stderr: Systems.out.println("ok");
javac Main.java stderr: ^
javac Main.java stderr: 1 error
javac Main.java exitValue() 1
java Main stdout: ok
java Main exitValue() 0
It still prints "ok" because the previously compiled Main.class is still there, but at least you can see what exactly is happening when your processes are running.
