jump to active window after compile

i love the integration of java and textpad where textpad automatically jumps back to the code window after a succesful compile.

other languages i have used with textpad you must switch back and forth. a minor hassle, but i was wondering how this was accomplished. if anyone knows, please fill me in.

thanks

I think Textpad decides on the exit code of the tool whether it stays in the command result window (if exit code is not zero? or if it is negative?) and switches back to the file window if the exit code is zero (zero exit code usually means: no errors).

But I am not completely sure...

i dont think so

i dont think this is the case. other languages.. when you have a succesfull compile, just stay on the compile windows and say " succesfull compiled" etc
