I have tried what you said and it now tries to run, saying "run" when I hit f5. After a pause of a few seconds, I hear "returning" and I am back in my file. I entered what you said to, but I do not use Eclipse or anything and have never heard of swt being used for anything. Also, what is the %SourceRootLong% for? Should I have changed this to a specific value for my program?
Have a great day, Alex

The Windows search path is where Windows looks for .exe or .dll
files
when it cannot find such a file in the current directory. The
PATH
environment variable determines this setting. In EdSharp (or
FileDir),
you can view or edit environment variables with Control+E. Press
Alt+P
to jump to the PATH edit box. Each directory in the list is
seperated
by a semicolon character (;). If you change settings for the
current
user, you need to restart EdSharp for it and any other program to
see
the change.
With that said, if javac.exe (the compiler) is already in your
path,
then java.exe (the runtime engine) is probably there as well,
since they
are usually in the same directory. Upon further investigation, I
found
that associating .class files with java.exe does not work
conveniently
after all, since java.exe expects command-line parameters besides
the
..class file. Also, to my surprise, java.exe seems to require
that the
..class extension be omitted on the command line and that it be
executed
where the current directory is the location of the .class file.
This
behavior is counter to Windows conventions!
Another problem in running a program you have compiled
successfully in
EdSharp is that the the Run command, F5, will not work because it
would
try to run the current document, a .java file, rather than thecorresponding .class file (the command cannot know that you
really mean
to run another file than the one you are editing). Thus, the
best
solution is to configure the Prompt command, Alt+F5. Enter
syntax
similar to the following:
java.exe -classpath .;swt.jar %SourceRootLong%
You will need to adjust the classpath if your code uses classes
besides
SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit from eclipse.org). The Prompt
Command lets
you change its value each time before you press Enter, but once
you get
it working, you can just accept the previous value. You can
confirm
that the current directory of EdSharp is the one containing your
source
file by pressing Alt+0.
This information is getting near the limits of my knowledge aboutconfiguring Java, so I hope other Java developers can chime in if
you
have further questions.

I just tried to get the applications menu of a class file to do what you said but there is no "open with" option. Strange. Also, just what is a Windows search path? Do I need to put inanother system variable like when I made javac a command for
cmd?
Have a great day, Alex

I think you need to associate the Java runtime engine, java.exewithfiles that have a .class extension, and also make sure thatjava.exe isin a directory on your Windows search path.

I know this has been gone over before, so sorry to ask again,buthow do I get EdSharp to run my java code? Currently it tries to open the class file in notepad instead of executing said class file. Thanks for any help.
