Compiling from TextPad

Post by Ronnie »

Compiling from within TextPad appears to be somewhat limited. If I'm trying to create a package, files within the package but that are in the same dir are not recognized. Do I need to specify all package paths, even the current one, in my CLASSPATH?

Thanks!

Create a tool that compiles $FileDir\*.java (I don't have TextPad in front of me, so the syntax might be off), and then associate it to a key command. This will compile all files in the current directory.

If you want to compile more than just that, use the @file command, of the javac command. Here's documentation from Sun:

Combine this with Workspaces, as other threads have alluded to, and you got pretty good flexibility.
