Hey :),
I've been using Textpad (http://www.textpad.com/) to compile and run Java on my old (and retired) Windows laptop, but since I rarely even switch it on these days I'd like to continue this by starting to compile and run Java on my mac.
With Textpad I used to write a java file and press CTRL+1 to compile, then CTRL+2 to run the Java application ... I was wondering if there was a similar way of doing this on a mac?
I understand that J2SE is already installed into OS X, I just need a program that will be able to compile and run my java code. I already use BBEdit to type up my html and php code but as far as I can see it doesn't have any way of compiling and running Java applications on it.
Thanks for any help given,
Steven.
