Set the PATH variable: Add the location of bin folder of JDK installation for PATH in User Variables - that works.
A typical value for PATH is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin

- read par. 4. Update the PATH variable (Optional)

To set the PATH variable:

1. Open the System Properties (e.g., by right-clicking on My Computer, choosing properties, and then "Advance System Settings")

2. Click on "Environment Variables"

3. Under "System Variables", scroll down to "Path"

4. Add the path ... separated by a semi-colon

For example, put "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin;" in front of what the current path is.

The next time you start TextPad and go to Configure | Preferences | Tools then the "Add" button will magically have "Java SDK Commands".

I hope this answers your question

Hello,

I am having the same issue as above, and added the Path correctly. I've had the JDK installed long before TextPad, and the SDK Commands will not show up under the Add button. I added the Path, as I said, and yet it does not appear.

Any reasoning on this?

Anyone running a 64 bit operating system will need to install the 32 bit edition of the JDK, and then TextPad will be able to find it. Once installed, you will still need to manually add the java commands to the TextPad Tools menu.

You can download it from here:
