Textpad

HELP!!!
When I tried to compile my java program using CTRL 1 of the Textpad, I got a message "The system cannot find the file specified". Does anyone have the same problem that I am having. I can compile my program on the DOS prompt. The following are the configuration setup for CTRL 1:
Parameters : $File
Initial folder: $FileDir
I appreciate your help in advance.

It seems like textpad canot find your JDK. Usually if textpad if installed after installing the JDK, it finds it finds and dooes the configuration automatically. What I'll suggest is that you re-install textpad.

How can i open a TEXTPAD LINK in recent versions of firefox in a P R I V A T E window?

No matter what i've tried in recent versions of firefox, i can ONLY open a textpad link in a private window with OLD VERSIONS of firefox, where a private window REPLACES non private window(s) !
In later versions, private mode opens an ADDITIONAL window that is private, but the non private window(s) remain too.
So when I right click on a link in Textpad to open it, it ALWAYS opens the link in the latest NON private window!!! Even if I get rid of the non private windows!
I have tried Palemoon Browser(an optimized clone of Firefox) & no difference, unless I use old version 19.0.2 of that browser.
If there was a way in the registry(via an addon or manual change) to make the latest vers of FF beHAVE like the much older version when going into private mode, that might be a quick fix.
Have I stumped everyone? lol

Well... even though there is a command-line option to open a new private window, there is no way to feed a URL to that window externally. Firefox will always open the URL in a new non-private window. It's not clear why it was set up this way.
Previous discussion on possible workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/966772 How to open firefox 22 in private browsing and navigate an url from command line].

Textpad user package does not exist ( classpath, autoexec)

hi,
I have searched 6 ways of sunday on this little fiasco...
can you help me sort this out...please..
I have added to my autoexec.bat
classpath=c:\jDevl;.;
my directory structure is
C:\jDevl\Junk1
\Date.java
\Car.java
\soldcar.java
//code for Car.java below
package CarPkg;
import DatePkg.*; //also tried import junk1.DatePkg, etc...
public class Car
{�.
When I compile Car.java, with textpad, I get the following error:
C:\jDevl\junk1\Car.java:3: package DatePkg does not exist
import DatePkg.*;
here is my Date.java code:
package DatePkg;
public class Date
which compiled fine�.

oo...
changed directory structure to:
c:\jDevl\junk1\CarsPkg\Car.java
c:\jDevl\junk1\DatePkg\Date.java << compiled ok
c:\jDevl\junk1\DatePkg\Date.class
c:\jDevl\junk1\SoldCar.java <<this class extends Car
I removed my CLASSPATH statement from autoexec.bat
because it seems to make no diff.
it was: CLASSPATH=C:\jDevl;.;
** i understand the concept that path only picks up .exe files
& i understand that classpath says where my packages are but...
it didnt seem to make any difference... i will pass along a heavy book you can throw at me (lol).
my Date class compiled fine� Date.class exists. in correct dir.
package DatePkg;
public class Date
in my Car.java file, I have tried various versions of
using the import statement, ALL DatePkg imports have failed.
C:\jDevl\junk1\CarPkg\Car.java:4: package DatePkg does not exist
import DatePkg.*;
package CarPkg;
//import jDevl.junk1.DatePkg.*;
//import DatePkg.*;
import junk1.DatePkg.*;
public class Car
cant compile this till I get CarPkg sorted!!
//import CarPkg.*;
//import DatePkg.*;
public class SoldCar extends Car
1. i guess i should add classpath back in, if so, how far do i reference the classpath? C:\jDevl or C:\jDevl\junk1
2. am i doing anything else wrong..?
your assistance appreciated.

TextPad or EditPlus alternative

I have been trying to find an alternative to TextPad / EditPlus as I need to run a scripting language which is based on Java. The command which I need to run in TextPad/EditPlus is:
java -verbose:gc -jar AKL.jar Test-M.webl
IMAGE: From Textpad which I used in Windows
At present I'm running this command in Terminal Window and generating the output. But I need to run it through TextWrangler/BBEdit/TextMate or any other editor... Is there any way?
Can anybody help me ?
I'm using MBP with OS X Mountain Lion.

I personally like Netbeans.
It can be a bit tricky to use at times, but it is for the most part intuitive, and helps deal with a lot of the trivial things.
Emacs is also good, but is very technical. You can program it to do things which can also be extremely useful (as an example, if you decide to rename a class, it could go and change all the source files so that it has an appropriate name)
Some people also like Eclipse.

Gridworld Case Study - how to use a .jar file with textpad

Hello,
I am a student currently working on a project involving the Gridworld case study. While trying to work on my project at home, I discovered that I would get new "cannot find symbol" compiler errors that I had not previously gotten while compiling the same code at school. I am assuming this has something to do with the .jar file included in the gridworld code. How do I get textpad and/or the java compiler to find and use the .jar file and reccognise the classes which i am importing and extending in my project?
Thanks,
-Alex

Thanks, It works for compiler now.

TextPad and Java ?

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

Textpad can't Run programs after installing oracle9i Jdeveloper

'NoClassFound' this type run error is displaying the textpad editor, after installing the jDeveloper. Before installing the JDeveloper it was running properly from textpad through jdk 5,
Now it is showing the above error.
Though from the jdeveloper run engine the same program is running properly.
where it is conflicting? i know jdeveloper got its own java exe and compiler, is it making any prob wid da jdk 5 exe and compiler?
plz let me know?
u kan mail me: [email protected]

Let me understand: you have a Mac Pro (this forum) or G5? totally different.
Why not backup the home directory and then erase and install? that works.
Your hardware profile etc says "10.3.9" and while it is possible to do an update in place from panther to tiger, it really works best to reformat and install (after backup up everything obviously).

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Textpad

Hello to everybody:
I programed in java some time ago and now i'm trying to recycle and start again with it. I was programming using Textpad and compiling and excuting the files from there. Now i'm trying to configure it the same way that i had it some time ago. But i'm not able.
My program is just a operation of 2 numbers. I know it's so dumb :P but i'm trying to learn again. I can compile it (Ctrl+1, using the instruction javac of j2sdk1.4.2_13) but when i try to execute (Ctrl+2, instruction java.exe) i throws me this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 6
where "6" is the first parameter for the program.
I put the CLASSPATH in enviromental variables
CLASSPATH: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\bin;.
PATH: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\bin (this last one after all the others that existed before and separated by ";" )
If i try to execute it from the promp using the instructions javac.exe and java.exe it works ok. And using NetBeans too. So i have to think it's sth from textpad.
Can somebody help me? Thank you to everybody for your time.

Hey, first of all thank you for your help again.
I'm trying to execute it in the textpad itself. You press Ctrl+2 and appears a window to put the arguments. So there's a parameter called $File (maybe that's the problem, this name should be another one), the name of the current project you're trying to execute. I've tried to put the class name between but it threw me the same error changing the parameter for the class name. So finally i've put the name of the project without extension and after it the arguments, and it has work. I'll go on looking for the parameter to substitute the project name.
Thank you for all your help. It's the first time i enter in a forum and you've been really helpful. Tahnk you so much. Sure you'll see me here again,, cos i'm a kid of rookie:P

Textpad for Java Programming

I was wondering if any of you guys also use or know TEXTPAD ? If yes, what do you guys think of it ? Does textpad good or suitable for writing and compiling codes for Java ?
Thanks !

Does it good, or no ?Yes, it's excellent. As a tool to use when learning Java it cannot be beaten, and subsequently it is still just great. I would encourage you to purchase a full licence.
When you compile bigger
programs, does textpad still works ?Sure. Although once you are very familiar with the tools of Java development (particularly javac and java) then you will probably want to pick up an IDE to use instead of Textpad. That won't stop Textpad from being useful.
What are the
disadvantages of it ?It's not an IDE, just a text editor with some programmer oriented features. That's also one of its advantages.
And what do you usually use to
write Java code ?For short examples I still use Textpad. For viewing code in an ad hoc manner, I still use Textpad. For writing large applications I use Eclipse 3.1M7 where possible and (usually) WebSphere Application Developer where not.

Unable to compile my java program in TextPad or Eclipse

Hello - Finals are next week and I have one last assignment due....and my harddrive crashed last week. I reinstalled everything and set environment variables. When I open my program in TextPad and press ctrl-1 to compile nothing happens. Nothing happens with ctrl-2 (to run) either.
In eclipse, I open the files and try to run the java file with the main method but I get "Selection does not contain a main type" error! I don't know what to do and I am at a standstill and I failed finding helpful information on my own.
Please help!
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class BookPrinter {
     public static void main(String args)
          try
               FileReader reader = new FileReader("input.txt");
               Scanner in = new Scanner(reader);
               String inputFile = "";
               while(in.hasNext())
                    inputFile.concat(in.nextLine());
               Book b = new Book(inputFile);
               System.out.println("The book's size is: " + b.bookSize());
               System.out.println("\nThe number of times \"the\" occurs in the book: " + b.count("the"));
               System.out.println("\nThe longest word in the book: " + b.longest());
               ArrayList<String> longList = b.allLongest();
               System.out.println("\nThe words that are all the longest length: ");
               while(longList.size() > 0)
                    for(String e: longList)

          catch(FileNotFoundException exception)
               System.out.println("Error processing file: " + exception);
}

This:
public static void main(String args)is wrong.
You want this:
public static void main(String[] args)Understand the difference?

I'll rephrase my description.
For win98:
1)Click start button
2)Click Run and Type msconfig
3) Select Autoexec tab and click 'New' if CLASSPATH variable is not present.
4) For new entry key in "CLASSPATH=C:\<jdk directory>\jre\lib\rt.jar"
* your jdk directory will either be jdk1.3 or jdk1.2
Click Ok and Reboot
For win2k or XP
1)Right click on my computer icon on your desktop
2)Select Properties
3)Click on the advanced tab
4)Click on environment variables
5)Under system variables at the bottom click 'New' if CLASSPATH variable is not present
6)For varibale name key in CLASSPATH
7)For variable value key in C:\<jdk directory>\jre\lib\rt.jar
* your jdk directory will either be jdk1.3 or jdk1.2
Click ok and You do not need to reboot
You should be able to compile your java code in textpad after completion of the appropriate steps above.

Need help using TextPad on my home computer.

I have TextPad 4 on my computer (I know that there is a newer version, but we use that at school, so I want to use the same one at home). I need to know what all I need to be able to compile my programs at home. There isn't a compile button and I heard that that is because I need to download something. If so, what is it and can you give me a link.
I have Windows XP Service Pack2.
Thanks!

Hi ZebraSalad,
Firstly, as many people suggested, you need to download JDK. Go to SUN.com and download it. It will show a Download Manager. Then, usually if you choose "offline installation," the file would be at your desktop. Double clicked it and installed it on your computer.
Then, you need to set your PATH if your program does not recognize JAVAC. Here is the method for Windows:
Go to Control Panel and clicked on "System." Choose "Advanced" then, Click "Environment Variables"
Search for Variable called "PATH". Then, set in BOTH "User Variables" and "System Variables" for PATH. The best way is appending this on the last path.
For example:
Variable Value
PATH C:\Program Files\Groovy;
Then, you need to add this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1[yourversion]\bin;
In my computer, I have this version of JDK, so it would be like this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;
Then, the result would be:
For example:
Variable Value
PATH C:\Program Files\Groovy;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;
Hope that helps...

TextPad - command for disabling limit

Hi, I want to print the number of bottles in the range of 99 to 0 like the one below. However, when I attempted to run Java from TextPad, the output shows only 74 to 0, instead of 99 to 0, which I was supposed to be getting it. This led me to assume that there is a restriction imposed by TextPad on the number of text characters display in the command prompt window. In fact, I had the same problem with BlueJ, but that was solved when I went to Options menu and selected "Unlimited Buffering". Is there a similar command that release the limit and print all numbers from 99 to 0 in TextPad? I appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Note that I already posted my similar question in TextPad's forum last month ago, but I haven't received any response from them yet. I figured I would get a better response in here given that there is a number of TextPad users who frequent this forum.

Click on the command prompt C:\ icon in the top-left -> Properties -> Layout -> Screen Buffer ->
enter width + height -> OK -> select "change for all windows with same name"
Anyway, thanks for your help. It's a shame that the others at TextPad's forum didn't bother to respond my month-old post. ive posted there twice and got good responses.
Had they responded and gave me the answer that I'm looking for, I would gladly purchase their product, but now unfortunately for them, they just lost me as another potential customer and deservedly so.dont buy it. its a ripoff. youll grow out of it real quick and realize you should be using eclipse or something.
