Java is a very extensively used programming language. In this article, we explain how you can run Java programs from the Command Prompt.

Instead of firing up the command prompt and manually navigating the depths of your filesystem, just Shift-Right-click the folder, click Open Command Window Here, and voilà—you're there.
