Compiling/Running Java Programs in Notepad++?

Posted 07 July 2009 - 10:37 AM

I'm a huge Notepad++ fan and I'm just wondering if anyone has found successful ways to compile and run java programs through Notepad++. I've found some different documentation on the subject, but none of it seems to work.

Hoping I'm posting this in the correct message board, if not... my appologies!

Thanks!

I don't use notepad++ but I use a very similar program called Programmer's Notepad. What I ended up doing was making a little Python script that inserts parameters into an ANT script. Most IDE's actually work like this (as far as I know) -- they use a build tool like ANT or make to drive the actual build.

So I am not familiar with notepad++ but I would imagine that it has a scripting ability and so it should not be hard to make a little ANT template.

Even if it does not have a scripting ability, you can pass parameters to a script in python or perl etc to control the overall build.

Building a single file is easy, it when you have to work with projects that it gets a little strange. PN has the idea of projects which can include multiple files -- the support for projects is very simple at this point but a little scripting makes it useable for small projects.

Notepad++ is just a fancy text editor and does not include the javac compiler to my knowledge. You will have to compile it through the command line using javac.

Cheers

I agree with this. Notepad++ is almost just the same with Windows Notepad.

It's possible !!!!
To compile and execute java class file, just install NPPExec plugin (Plugins --> Plugin Manager --> Show Plugin Manager), restart N++.
Write a simple Hello World java file and press F6. Enter the following code -->

javac "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
java -classpath "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(NAME_PART)"

OK.

More information at --> http://notepad-plus....k/run-HOWTO.php

Enjoy.

Thanks misyel

big help- other directives stated multiple lines; only I might add: no quotes around the java - classpath.... I treated it like it was a regular Dos command line input for java, and it worked...
Thanks again.

Sorry for diging out this old thread but I can't run java programs in n++:

I installed the plugin, pressed F6 und inserted your code 

javac "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
java -classpath "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(NAME_PART)"


After that I get this error in the console:

javac "D:\Dokumente\Java\HalloWelt.java"
CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
(translated into english like: "the system could not find the specified file")

java -classpath "D:\Dokumente\Java" "HalloWelt"
Process started >>>
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HalloWelt
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HalloWelt
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)

javac $(FILE_NAME)
java $(NAME_PART)


Peace

Add the JDK/bin directory to execution path. (Set the PATH environment variable in Windows.)

Ans: firstly u need to set path variable
copy java/bin directory path & go to envirnment variable in that system variable edit path variable & pest bin directory path click on ok..
now save note pad file with dot java extention open command prompt
type javac your file name with extention
e.g javac Myprogram.java
here u r program is compile
then type java filename without extention
e.g java Myprogram
press enter u r program is running now

This is my first post on here, so here it goes.
I have Java installed and it runs fine on the command line.
When I run my code in Notepad++, it compiles fine. It gives me the *.class file.
But it will not run the code. When I press F6 and put in:

cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
javac $(FILE_NAME)
java -classpath "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(NAME_PART)"

I get this:
CD: C:\Documents\Java
Current directory: C:\Documents\Java
javac testApp.java
Process started >>>
<<< Process finished.
java -classpath "C:\Documents\Java" "testApp"
Process started >>>
Error: could not open `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'
<<< Process finished.

Note: I do not have a Java folder in my Program Files (x86) folder.
My Java folder is in my Program Files folder.
Like I said, the file runs fine on the command line but not in Notepad++.
Thank you.

NotePad ++ likely added a different path to Java than your actual PATH variable describes. Go into the settings and point it to the proper location.
