Hi Yes, I downloaded the Java SDK and text pad, no problems with the download or install. When I am in text pad the option to compile/run the program is not there AT ALL. I have tryed reinstalling everything but that doesn't work. Might it be because of a compatibility problem with Vista Home Premium x64? Is there a patch or fix to make it work? The only option in tools menu is RUN and it brings up a dialog box Run, asking for Command,Parameters,Initial Folder input. anyone know how to fix this I really need this up and working for class.
thanks
BK

Just a stab in the dark here, but I suspect the keys work differently for the 64bit windows vs 32 which is why TP didn't automagically set up the tools. None-the-less, it's easily remedied.
Configure, Preferences and then at the bottom of the panel is the Tools option. Click on that and you will get a blank list and an Add button. Select Program... and then navigate to the installation folder for Java. For me, it was in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin
Name the tool Compile Java
Command: javac.exe
Parameters
Initial Folder:
Check Capture Output and Sound Alert when completed
Regex to match output: ^\(\(\(.[^:]\)\|\([A-Za-z]:\)\)[^:]+\):\([0-9]+\):
Registers 1, line 4, column nothing
I have to scoot to a meeting but that should get you started. Searching on those things ought to find other posts showing you in detail how to set it up as well.
