I just installed Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 Update 11
and txpeng520.exe. But after i run textpad it does not have the option to compile/run/runapplet, and under the configure, preferences, tools, add JDK commands are not in the list to add.

i am using vista 64 bit home premium.
i installed the JDK first before textpad.
i check my CLASSPATH variable in control panel it is set to .;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11

i have tried uninstalled reinstalling everything, restarting, etc. to the point of uninstall everything, install the JDK, restart, install textpad, restart, still no JDK commands =(

my old classpath was C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_07\lib\ext\QTJava.zip but that is quick time java, im not sure if that is relevant

i am positive the JDK is installed, java.exe is located at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin

i have tried installing textpad in both Program Files and Program Files(x86) with no success.

any help would be much appreciated. ive tried searching with no avail

FIXED!

if anyone else is having this problem, im not sure if its the 64 bit issue or the newest version of the JDK but i installed jdk-6-windows-i586.exe and text pad now works fine

I'm running Vista. Do I need to set path variables?
I have tried a previously mentioned fix from this forum which did not work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm very new at this so forgive my newbieness. I'm taking an intro to programming course. i've installed the most recent JDK in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java. My tools in Textpad show Jre-6u11-windows- i586- p-iftw but when I try to configure I get an error message saying program, syntax not recognized. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the JDK and Taxtpad about 5 times but I can't get Testpad to compile a Java program. Any Help? Thanks

If you have JDK (Java Development Kit) installed on your system and you install textpad, textpad recognizes JDK and adds external tools in the tools drop down - to compile and also to run a Java program. I know this is a fact because I have done this on a machine with XP. My problem is with VISTA.

Thanks wtf, for updating. That worked for me also. I am very new to programming so I had to hunt to find out what "jdk-6-windows-i586.exe" is and what to do with it. Now my code compiles so I am a happy camper.

btw garyns stick to your guns

From a previous post, I have already tried the outdated version "jdk-6-windows-i586.exe". This does not fix my Vista problem.

Wher do i dowload the jdk-6-windows-i586.exe file ?

I was thinking of a more trustit site. But i dowloaded it from google search and it works fine.
