Why do you talk about yourself like that?  Seriously, you are the one being smug and condescending here.  I was just suggesting to use the tool which should eliminate the possibility you just typed the command wrong.  Sure you can type in a javac command to compile a program, you can type in the entire command line specifying the main class name and every jar on your classpath every time you compile it.  You could also just save yourself some time and from the evil typos and set it up in the GUI.

Most people prefer the easier modern tools which is why Windows which you have to pay for is still far more popular than the free Linux.  Last time I tested Linux it booted up to a GUI screen literally asking me to type in commands to load drivers before it would do anything useful.  The GUI interface is not only a huge time saving convenience to most people, but also makes it easier to debug someone else's problem.

You bothered to respond simply to attack, saying you have no clue what the answer is without seeing all the details.  Why not just ask the user to post a link to a video of their screen showing all the properties and commands so you can point out where they went wrong as if you're actually there, or just get their address and go there.
