Serious Compile Function Problem

Hey guys,

I am using TextPad and there does appear to be an option to compile. On my friends computer the option is under Tools and it has been in previous versions that I have used before, however I have just installed the latest version and the option to compile does not exist! The problem has only appeared after formatting and reinstalling Java.

Any help would be great.

Sorry mango, no compiler is normal.

TextPad is a text editor. It is not a compiler. It does not include a compiler.

You can manually create a Tool for the compiler that you want to use.

I just had the same problem. Got a hefty collection of source code and was forced to get a new computer - it had xp installed and went ahead and got a broadband connection. Trying to get some java server pages and other things up on the new server I hired.

Went to compile: SMTPConnection - Open an SMTP connection to a remote machine and send one mail and got program not found.

Before, this would be fixed by deleting compile java from the drop down menu and re-installing it using Configure/Preferences/Tools/Add.

Did not work, help files said to add java to the classpath. That did not work. Stuck. It does not make sense with all the cs sophistication that Java brings to the science that this cannot be resolved, but because of the Regular Expressions being used to match output and the tendency of capture output to hang in a 16-bit single-threaded .dll I tink we have a real issue here.
