Re: Could not find or load main class

Hi Lorena,

The best is that you install an IDE. There are three major ones: 
Netbeans, Eclipse and IntelliJ. Eclipse is the most popular. I recommend 
Netbeans.

My environmental CLASSPATH  is set to

I can't run anythhing anymore. I can compile this FillTestField file but I can't run it. 
Or anything else. Not even Welcome.Class. I keep getting "Could not find or load 
main class FillTestField" I have tried:Changing the classpath to 
.;C:\Users\Dad\Downloads\pdfbox-app-1.8.8.jar;C:\Users\Dad\Downloads 
.;C:\Users\Dad\Downloads\pdfbox-app-1.8.8.jar;.;C:\Users\Dad\Downloads
.;C:\Users\Dad\Downloads\pdfbox-app-1.8.8.jar;C:\Users\Dad\Downloads\FillTestField.class
or from the prompt line: java -cp . FillTestField (from same folder where file 
is)java -cp C:\Users\Dad\Downloads\FillTestField (With this one I got a whole 
list of java help commands, etc)
  Any ideas? Thanks for all your help.
