Java w/ vista ultimate problem

I have used textpad on xp, but now i have it setup on vista, after i compile, and everything is ok. But when i run the program the program window doesnt stay open to run though the program it just creates a batch file on my desktop. Then once I open the file it stays open, it is very annoying. I'm sure it is an easy fix but I can't seem to find anything on it anywhere.

I think you are not the only one. Can you rollback or try Dragon Fly or something ???

Configure
Preferences
Tools (expand the tree)
Look at the values for command and report back what is listed. You can always create your own "tools" to compile (javac.exe) and execute (java.exe/appletviewer.exe) java.

TextPad uses the registry keys and some voodoo to create the intial tools and if that information is flawed or outdated, you will to either purge the tools and readd them or simply do it by hand.
