Hi Ah ha, the penny has dropped now, thank you.
For other folks who might be interested this is what I've used:
Command field: java com.example.ProjectA Working directory: /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes Base path: /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes
I'm not quite sure of the inner workings though it seems ok with the Working Directory and Base Path being the same.
Regards Duncan

How do I get Geany to automatically pick up the fully qualified classname from the java project that I'm working on in order to run the project?
I'm trying to import some java applications I had previously written elsewhere (Windows + Eclipse, though I've only imported the java files, not attempting to import projects). I've been looking at https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu but can't seem to get the settings right.
So far I've worked out how to get javac up and running. I'm using this entry in the build menu: Command field: javac "%f" -d /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes -cp /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes so that it finds source files and leaves classfiles in the structure below: /home/me/Documents/Java/Source/ProjectA /home/me/Documents/Java/Source/Utilities/etc/etc /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes/.... As I said, this looks like it is working ok.
The problem is what command string to use in the execute part of the build menu. I've tried: Command field: java -classpath /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes "%e" Working directory field: /home/me/Documents/Java/Classes
However I'm getting the error: "Error: Could not find or load main class".
Clearly I can see that it doesn't have the right form of classname in it. I know the java command is supposed to use the Fully Qualified Classname of the form "java com.example.ProjectA". Obviously I want it to pick this up automatically from the project. How do I do this?
Geany works on filenames, it doesn't know about Java specific stuff like classnames (or any other language specific stuff either). So you will either have to do some shell smarts to extract the classname or hard code it in a project specific run command.

Thanks for any clues Duncan
