    Hi, I just started to lern JAVA in school, however, jGRASP doesn't work out as expected on my MAC, when I tried to compile programs, there showed:

    ----jGRASP exec: javac -g CoursePlanner.java
    ----jGRASP wedge: Unable to change working directory to "/Users/xiayi0921/Desktop/2010-Fall/¡—:C++CSCE155 SEC 150/Assingment 1/Assignment 1".
    ----jGRASP: operation complete.
    ----jGRASP: unexpected exit value (2) from wedge.

    I googled it several times but no results.

    Can anyone please give some suggestions how to fix that?
    Thanks

    why are you using jGRASP? I love Java, but haven't ever seen a need to touch that.

    For the error, it could be a coding problem with special characters... like the "¡—:C++CSCE155 SEC 150" folder name. Try using a simpler folder name.

    If your going to get into Java Development, I suggest using Eclipse.

    Hi, like I said, I have just started with JAVA so jGRASP is what I use in class. I'll definitely try eclipse. Thank you for that.

    is jgrasp recommended or required for your class, or did you just stumble upon it?

    I would definitely second the recommendation to use a more mainstream IDE, either eclipse or netbeans. I personally prefer netbeans, but both are very good.

    jGRASP is preferred and also required for my class. That's why I need to get it fixed.

    wow.. some instructors...
    lets learn a language designed to be cross platform! no tying you down to 1 thing! oh but for this class, we are tying you down to one thing!


    did you try to fix this problem?
    "/Users/xiayi0921/Desktop/2010-Fall/¡—:C++CSCE155 SEC 150/Assingment 1/Assignment 1"
    ??? give it a simple folder name to use (or fix the typos?).. like only letters and numbers without special characters or spaces... see if it works differently.
