I'm new here and is in my third year of university. I need some programme that will allow me to run/compile java for the upcoming semester. Where can I get such a programme on the net? I tried the sun webpage where they had just the type of programme I needed but it keeps freezing on my computer. I have a quick computer but it can't handle the sun software can someone help me fix this problem or tell me where I can get a free compiler to use for the up coming semester?

go to google(or your favourite search engine) and type in textpad. it is a shareware editor that allows you to compile and run your java source files.

Isn't that going to just run Javac, like any of the vast multitude of editors out there?

If you want to try alternative compiler to Sun's Javac, you might want to look at Jikes (again, search for it on Google). It is an incredibly fast Java compiler developed at IBM DeveloperWorks. Try it once and you'll never want to use Javac again!

I was wondering how do you compile and run java programmes in the textpad programme? I checked the help but it never help me so could someone lay out the steps for me. I understand about compiling but not in that programme.

choose 'tools'(alt + t) from the menubar. choose 'compile'(ctrl + 1) then 'run java application'(ctrl + 2), if you want to run an applet
'run java applet'(ctrl + 3)

I tried that but under tools my option is grey where I can't access it. Is there any free patch on the internet that I can download for the textpad that will allow me to compile and run java applications on the textpad programme?
