No java tools on my menu!

[Mark]

I don't have a compile/run/run applet function in my textpad .
its version 4.5 and i'm running on XP.

Anyone help me?

Did you install the Java Development Kit before you installed Textpad?

[Lucas Quintana]

I am having the same problem with my install. Yes, i have the Java SDK installed on my machine, here are the java progs/SDKs i have on my machine:
Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1_01
Java 2 SDK Standard Edition v1.3.1_01

I thought that perhaps my folder was named against convention and that made it hard for TextPad to recognize that i had Java, i thought that perhaps i had 1.3 and not 1.2 and that caused an error, what do you think? I have reinstalled the prog a couple of times and i even uninstalled NetBeans before doing an install, but nothing seems to work. I guess that i can add the tools manually, but that was not really working quite right when i did it yesterday.

[Lucas Quintana]

I figured it out, try this, i bet it will work. You might have to restart.

Add this line to your autoexec.bat file. Remember that you may have a different version of the SDK than i do so you will need to change the line accordingly.

SET PATH=C:\jdk1.3.1\bin;%PATH%

TextPad does not know where JDK is if you do not set the path when you start

Let do this:
1. Re-Install jdk (1.3 or 1.4)
2. Re-Install Textpad 4.5
Then Open Textpad and go to:
Configure, Preferences, Tools
and Pop-down Add. Click JDK.
Have a nice day!
