Well, i'm no java expert, however i have switched to linux recently. I can run java apps. On ubuntu goto Applications > Add / Remove

Make sure show is set to All available applications

and search java, check the one you want and click apply.

ok simple way, On my linux I always go in under "root" so i will be doing on the username Root.

Step 1 -
Open up a terminal

Should Say - USERNAME@PC-NAME:

Step 2: -
Now i found the easyest way is to make the Terminal go to the Folder i was working on so, I am making an "GE Price Grabber".

So i will set my Terminal to (Also I am working on folder on my desktop)

"cd /root/Desktop/GE" - now i orignal named it "GE Grabber but has problums with it beacuse off the spaces to I just named it "Ge"

Step 3 -
The java file now i have compiled it i want to run is called grwindows.java

so in my termainal now i have made by terminal go to the DIR of the folder i now type simple

java grwindows

DONT ADD THE .JAVA AT THE END OFF THE FILE OR IT WONT WORK.

DONE

So now it says

root@PC-Name:~/root/Desktop/GE# java grwindows

now it will open

hope this helps. Also if u want to know how to install java just PM me
