NO JAVA tools on my menu! Any 1 can HELP!

[John C]

I don't have a compile/run/run applet function in my
textpad .
its version 4.5 and i'm running on NT4.0.
I did not install any JDK on my pc. I just start to learn
JAVA with textpad.

Please advise.

Without a JDK there will be no Java Commands on the tools menu.
These menu items call the compiler ... from the JDK, so as long as there is no JDK, these commands would not make any sense.

If you DO have the JDK installed, make sure you are not using jdk1.4 beta or rc because TextPad will not recognize that jdk.

Go back to jdk1.3 and it should work.

Actually, I am using jdk 1.4 with textpad 4.5, and it works flawlessly.

You should be able to get the JDK commands by going to Configure > Preferences > Tools, then Click Add, and select "JDK Commands." If not, then make sure the directory you installed the JDK to is in your system's PATH environment variable.

Good luck,
