I just got the jdk 1.5 to show up on the tools menu by:

Code: Select all

/*  First make sure you installed the JDK using its setup program 
 *  as it writes important information to the registry that TextPad needs to locate Javac.exe. 
 *  If you copied the JDK from another machine it will not work correctly with TextPad.
 *  After you have run the installation program for the JDK, do the following:
 *  
 *  Click on Configure. 
 *  Select Preferences. 
 *  Select Tools. 
 *  Delete the 3 JDK commands (if present). 
 *  Click Apply. 
 *  Click the Add button and select the JDK commands. 
 *  Click OK.
