hi plz guide me as to how u can compile jdk1.4 program codes in textpad.
i am encountering this problem becoz some of the reserved words in jdk1.4 like "assert" are not being recognized in textpad.
if this is not possible then plz guide as to what tool should be used in order to compile it

Not sure if I understand you, but setting up the JDK is explained here:
http://textpad.com/support/faq/java.html
Also I found this using search for "assert"
http://textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4668
but there's no feedback on it so I'm not sure about that one.

Via Google I found:

To enable assertions one must set source="1.4", "1.5" or later in <javac> when the source is being compiled, and that the code must contain assert statements to be tested.

and also http://leepoint.net/notes-java/20langua ... usage.html
And since this is a compiler option use

Code: Select all

javac -source 1.4 MyProg.java

So, referring to my first reply, add -source 1.4 to your parameters in Textpad.
To run your programs you must also enable it

Code: Select all

java -enableassertions MyProg

Add -enableassertions to your parameters in Textpad.
