Print Message after successfully compilation

Question

I have a simple JAVA code it will just print hello after compile and Run the Program. But I want to print one message after successful completion. Is this possible? If yes than how?

Although, the following code snippet is way too overkill for your task but, expanding on my comment - you may want to submit a custom task to a class which implements Callable.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final ExecutorService executorService;
        final Future<Integer> future;
        final int statusCode;

        executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
        future = executorService.submit(new TextMessagePrinter());

        try {
            statusCode = future.get();
            if (statusCode == 10) { // Printed successfully
                System.out.println("JOB DONE. EXITING...");
                Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0); // A zero status code indicates normal termination.
            } else {
                System.out.println("ERR...SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENED!");
                Runtime.getRuntime().exit(statusCode);  // A non-zero status code indicates abnormal termination.
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            executorService.shutdownNow();
        }
    }
}

class TextMessagePrinter implements Callable<Integer> {
    public Integer call() {
        Integer STATUS_CODE;
        try {
            System.out.println("Printing hello..."); // Try printing something
            System.out.println("Dividing 6 by 0 gives us: " + 6 / 0); // And then you try to do something knowing which will result in an exception
            STATUS_CODE = 10; // Indicates success.
        } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
            STATUS_CODE = 20; // Indicates failure...setting status code to 20.
        }
        return STATUS_CODE;
    }
}

Running the above code on my IDE gives me the following output:

• When the exception happens

(Note the status code set in the catch block getting printed when the process finishes):

• No exception happens, everything happens fine:

(Comment the following line)

System.out.println("Dividing 6 by 0 gives us: " + 6 / 0);

If you mean completion of the application's Runtime, I think you are looking for the answer in this StackOverflow question: Java Runtime Shutdown Hook.

Or if you want to do what is in the question title and do something after building, then you may consider a build automation tool, like Maven.
