I recently updated to the latest, from 4.7.3. Was greatly impressed with the new software for several days, until suddenly (and after no changes to preferences) the java compiler wasn't picking up my latest changes to the program. I've tried the normal stuff .. restart Textpad, restart Windows XP, check all the preferences, but nothing works ... the compiler is not compiling the latest version of the code. Went back to a restore point taken when the new version of Textpad was working OK, but that didn't help.

Check the output from the compiler, perhaps it's indicating that the compilation fails. Barring that being productive, shell out to your windows command line environment, navigate to the appropriate location on disk and compile/execute from there.

Textpad is merely a text editor, it hands the job of compilation to byte code and invocation the JVM to the defined tools.

In T.P. make sure you have the Save all Files before running tools checked.

It's somewhere in the TOOLS/OPTIONS stuff
