TextPad Question

[JavaBean]

Hi

I'm just getting into programming. My primary goal is to learn C/C++, and Java. I'm concentrating on Java for now. My question is how could of an IDE is TextPad for Java?

When I decide to dive into C/C++, will TextPad allow me to program in these languages as well? Eventually my goal will be to design programs for the Windows Platform, using soley TextPad will I be able to do this?

Thanks

Could = Good

depends how much you want an IDE to do for you. if you want auto code-completion or integrated debugging, well, you're not going to get that from TextPad. TextPad is just an editor. but personally, that's how I like to write code, with a nice light-weight text editor that doesn't "get in the way". I absolutely hate JBuilder.

I have used nothing but TextPad for developing for Java, which I've been doing for five years now. I looooooooooove it. I look forward to/hope very very hard for the next version, but the current one works good just as it is.
