usually when it comes to making a program you always had your favourite editor. But for me then my favourite editor is EditPlus. Here I will show you how to compile java program using EditPlus.

after you had downloaded and install EditPlus you need to have a JDK install in your computer go here then if you haven’t had it installed. now open you EditPlus and click Tools -> Configure User Tools and then you will see this picture below. But remember to fill in the forms as exactly as this picture. But first you need to click Add Tool and choose Program and then it will be like this.

and here is another picture

the command is different for every tool, you just need to know that for Compiler it’s used javac.exe
for Run Time it’s used java.exe
for Applet Java it’s used appletviewer.exe
for documentation it’s used javadoc.exe

Compiler is used when you need to compile a program
Run Time is used when you need to run the program.
applet java is important if you want to compile a java applet program
documentation is important if you want to make a web-based documentation for java class using javadoc program available in SDK.

then if you want to use the toolbar that we had just created then you need to activate it by going to View -> Toolbar/Views -> check the User Toolbar. and your EditPlus will be like the picture below.

so there you goes the setting that need to take place if you want to use EditPlus editor, usually you can also use notepad or netbeans if you like but for me my favourite editor is EditPlus.
