Hi Jon,

When running java classes, you should not add a .java extention to the class name. Typing "java pdbtoXML.java" trys to find a class called pdbtoXML.java rather than one named pdbtoXML.

Try putting the following code into a file named PDBConverter.java :

import java.io.*;
import org.biojava.bio.program.*;

public class PDBConverter {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception {
StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new FileReader(
new File(args[0]) ) );

for(
String line = in.readLine();
line != null;
line = in.readLine()
) {
sbuf.append(line);
}

PdbToXMLConverter converter =
new PdbToXMLConverter(sbuf.toString());

converter.convert();
}
}

To compile this, put biojava.jar and the current directory into your CLASSPATH environment variable, and type:

javac PDBConverter.java

If this works, then you can run the app by typing:

java PDBConverter

I've just typed the code into this mail editor, so it may not work first time.

Good luck

Matthew
