Java console interaction?

[elizvilllarreal]

Hi, I can’t interact with my console when working on a java project. I want to run a different file other than Main.java. How can I do this? Thank you

Hi @elizvilllarreal , welcome to the forums!
You could use the Shell to run code for better use of prompts:

java File.java

This runs File.java. You can change it to any filename.

Hope this helps!

Just click the ⋮ next to “Files” then click “Show hidden files”. Next click on the .replit file and finally you can change the entrypoint to whatever file you want to run.

I’m not sure if this works for programming languages like Java.

Welcome @elizvilllarreal!

This is a new feature. Instead, use the Shell.

Correct, it does not.
