Can anyone teach me how to add the java.exe to GWD text editor? The way I did option->tools->add run in menu text->select the java.exe. And options->tools->add compile in menu text->select javac.exe.

I also specify $(FilePath)$(FileNameOnly), and in the Initial Directory $(FileDir), but everytime I run or compile the program, it is suppose to have a black window with the result , but the black window appears just for a few seconds, then it
is gone.

Then in "tools window", I tried to mark "Redirect to output window" bellow "Initial directory", and compile and run again. The result of "compile" the program is
compile: javac: invalid flag: C:\Comp182\TestLinkedList.javaTestLinkedList

And the result of "run" the program is
run: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: C:\Comp182\TestLinkedList/javaTestLinkedList
Exception in thread "main"

In the Arguments field of the Tools dialog box you should specify "-cp . $(FileNameOnly)", in the Initial Direcotry "$(FileDir)".

Note that your Java source file must be active in the GWD Text Editor.

Hello Vedran Gaco,
I tried In the Arguments field of the Tools dialog box you should specify "-cp, and $(FileNameOnly)", in the Initial Direcotry "$(FileDir)" as you said above, but I still have problems.
First problem is that everytime I run or compile the program, it is suppose to have a black window with the result , but the black window appears just for a few seconds, then it is gone.
Second is that Then in "tools window", I tried to mark "Redirect to output window" bellow "Initial directory", and compile and run again. When I "run" the program it shows error:

Unrecognized option: -cd.W3
Could not creat the Java virtual machine
(W3 is the file name of my program)

and when I compile, it shows error:

Java: invalid flag: -cd.W3
Usage: Javac
where possible include.....

ps: And how do I know my Java source file is active in the GWD Text Editor? And how can I make it active in the GWD Text Editor?

In the Argument field you should specify "-cp . $(FileNameOnly)". Do not forget to spaces between -cp (not -cd), dot and $(FileNameOnly).

Your *.java file must be opened in the GWD Text Editor.

Hi Vedran Gaco,
In the Argument field I specify "-cp . $(FileNameOnly)" as you said above. I also spaced between -cp, dot and $(FileNameOnly). I still have 2 problems as above.
but the second problem is diferent:

when I "compile" the program (with marked "Redirect to output" in "tools window") the error is:
javac: invalid flag: -cp
and when I "run" the program, it shows a "running tool" windows"
In "running tool" Window, it shows:
Program
c:\......java.exe
Arguments
-cp . testmatching
(Testmatching is the file name of my program)
and stay like this for a long time until I click "cancel" button.

For compiling Java you should use javac.exe and for interpreting Java programs java.exe (not javac). -cp is the java (not javac) option which sets the classpath.

You should replace javac.exe whit java.exe in the Command field

I already replaced javac.exe for compiling Java and java.exe for interpreting Java programs in the Command field, but I still have the same problems as saying above.
