   public static void main(String[] a) {
      System.out.println("Hello world!"); 	
   }
}

2. Save this program with the file Hello.java in a working folder C:\herong

3. Then compile this program in a command window with the javac command:

C:\>cd \herong
C:\herong> \j2sdk1.5.0\bin\javac Hello.java

3. Finally, execute the program using the java command:

C:\herong>\j2sdk1.5.0\bin\java -cp . Hello
