Issue with file I/O integration for compilation [message #1193905]

Hi,

I'm new to the Eclipse IDE, and I need some help. I have a project where I import a couple of libraries and compile a java class file. The only thing missing is the inclusion of an output file (working-draft.txt). Here's what I got on the console:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: working-draft.txt (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:146)
at Main.main(Main.java:33)

So, I tried to create the blank output file with Eclipse and refreshed and ran the project, but the console spits out the same errors.

What do I have to do to let the program find the output file?

Any help would be appreciated.

- Andrey.

This is because of how Java file I/O works; it's nothing to do with
Eclipse. I would suggest that you write another sample program that
creates a file, then go find that file in your filesystem. This will
help you get a feeling for how this works and where you should place
working-draft.txt such that you can find and open it from the program
you're trying to get working.

The Java Application launcher allows you to set the working directory on the Arguments tab. The default is the same location as the project, which I'm guessing is not what you expected. You can change it there.
