How to open JAVA file?
An often recurring problem with Java Source Code Format is that JAVA is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open JAVA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JAVA file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Java Virtual Machine
In this case, you should first verify that the Java Virtual Machine application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Java Virtual Machine in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support JAVA files.
Programs to open JAVA file
Remember to download programs supporting JAVA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Java Virtual Machine with JAVA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JAVA file to open in the Java Virtual Machine application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JAVA file with the Java Virtual Machine program.
Step 3. Update Java Virtual Machine to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Java Virtual Machine program, it is possible that Java Source Code Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JAVA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to JAVA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JAVA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected JAVA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JAVA file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JAVA file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JAVA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JAVA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the JAVA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JAVA to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
