How can I compile a Java program in Eclipse without running it?

Question

I would like to compile my Java program in Eclipse but not to run it. I can\'t understand how to do it.

How can I compile a Java program to .class files

Answer 1

Go to the project explorer block ... right click on project name select "Build Path"-----------> "Configuration Build Path"

then the pop up window will get open.

in this pop up window you will find 4 tabs. 1)source 2) project 3)Library 4)order and export

Click on 1) Source

select the project (under which that file is present which you want to compile)

and then click on ok....

Go to the workspace location of the project open a bin folder and search that class file ...

you will get that java file compiled...

just to cross verify check the changed timing.

hope this will help.

Thanks.
