Java Problems

[hardwork]

I downloaded textpad 4.7.1 into my computer. I have Windows ME, and I can't run or compile my java programs because it doesn't have the compile, run java application, or run java applet commands on it. How do I get these commands.

How to Use with the Java Development Kit
The Java SDK is a product from Sun Microsystems for developing Java applications. It can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/. We do not support it in any way (except for the interface with TextPad, described below), so please check that web page for support information.

Very Important: To be able to use it with TextPad, the Java SDK must be installed using its setup program. This writes information to the registry, which TextPad cannot work without.

After you have installed the Java SDK, as described in its installation instructions, you can add commands to compile and run Java applications and applets to TextPad's Tools menu as follows:

1. From the Configure menu, choose Preferences.

2. Select the Tools page on the Preferences dialog box.

3. Click Add.

4. Select "Java SDK Commands" from the drop down menu.

5. Click OK.

You can assign shortcuts to any of these commands using the Keyboard page on the Preferences dialog box.

Notes: 

The option to add Java SDK commands only appears on that menu, if none of your tools runs JAVAC.EXE, JAVA.EXE or APPLETVIEWER.EXE. 
The Java SDK commands are automatically added to the Tools menu, if the Java SDK is installed before TextPad is first run on a PC. 
Do not attempt to capture the output of a Java application which reads from standard input. The Command Results window is output only, so you will not be able to type responses into
