run java command line expression?

[boaby]

can anybody tell me what the expression is using textpads "Run Java Application" tool"?

The reason I ask is when you run a java program using textpad, after the program has finished and control passed back to the console window, it displays the "press any key to continue" msg and indeed a swipe on any key gets rid of the window.

Specifically can anyone (hopefully one of the developers) tell me how textpad does this?

thanks.


EDIT: Scratch that. I figured it out: batch pause command.

there is an option for textpad to run java and capture the output.

It is under configure/preferences/tools

Java compiler or many tools that textpad can run can be configured for Text Pad to deal with the dos box for you. It is not always 100% effective, but that is the answer to your question as phrased.
