Add the Java compiler to your user environment

The Java programming language compiler (javac) is available on Big Red II at Indiana University.

To add it to your Big Red II user environment, load the java module; on the command line, enter:

  module load java

For more, see Use modules to manage your software environment on IU research supercomputers.

Example

To compile a Java program (for example, simple.java), on the command line, enter:

  javac simple.java

If the program compiles correctly, a bytecode class file (e.g., simple.class) is created. To run the program, use the java command:

  java simple

Options

The javac compiler has its own unique set of standard options, and does not support optimizations or threads.

For a summary of options for the javac compiler, see the javac manual file on Big Red II; on the command line, enter:

  man javac

Run Java code

Java code compiled with the current Java module ( java/jdk1.7.0_07) will run only in Big Red II's Cluster Compatibility Mode (CCM) execution environment. Before submitting a batch job, make sure you've added the ccm module to your ~/.modules file and prepared a TORQUE job script that will launch your application in the CCM execution environment. For instructions, see ARCHIVED: Run batch jobs on Big Red II.
