TextPad and Java ?

Question

Hi all,
Does anyone out there ever use TextPad to compile and execute basic apps. Could someone provide me with an example of how to set up a test runner class to call and execute another class. Just some basic instructions. Lets say I've got a .java file now that expects two strings in the parameter list of the constructor. How would I execute that class from TestRunner?
Regards,
Mat

Could someone provide me with an
example of how to set up a test runner class to call
and execute another class. Just some basic
instructions. Lets say I've got a .java file now that
expects two strings in the parameter list of the
constructor. How would I execute that class from
TestRunner?I'm not quite sure what "executing a class" means. If you want the Testrunner class to do something involving the class with the two argument constructor, then the two-arg class needs a public method that the TestRunner class can call.
This is how I see it, though I am a beginner too.
class Two-arg{
private String username;
private String password;
//two argument constructor
Two-arg(String _username, String _password){
  username = _username;
  password = _password;
public String getUserName(){
return username;
public String getPassword(){
return password
//method to return a two-arg object
public Two-arg loadUser(String firstString, String secondString){
return new Two-arg(firstString, secondString);
} //end Two-arg class
//the .java file needs to match the name of your public class
public class TestRunner{
public static void main(String[] args){
goodPlan = loadUser("learn", "quickly");
String verb = goodPlan.getUserName();
String adverb = goodPlan.getPassword();
System.out.println("I want to " + verb + adverb);
private Two-arg goodPlan;//declare variable
}//end testRunner class
