I can´t type java-repl in my console and open the PERL ...

Hello community,

I want to type java-repl in my console and open the REPL.

I am to lazy to navigate to the folder with the javarepl.java file and type "java -jar javarepl.jar", so I added the javarepl.jar to the PATH variable.

But the java-repl command doesn work :(

Is there a way to fix it?

You want to add it to your CLASSPATH and not your PATH. Confusing eh? Yay for lazy, always makes you learn more!

My problem is this:

vpn-244-231:android nexuskiller$ java-repl -bash: java-repl: command not found vpn-244-231:android nexuskiller$

The javarepl.jar is in one particular folder called "android". If i navigate via terminal into this folder and type java-rep i get this:

-bash: java-repl: command not found

I have to type the command "java -jar javarepl.jar" when i am in the android folder to start REPL. But i want be able to type "java-repl" to start REPL ....
