Compiling and Running Java Code in Sublime Text 2

Question

I am trying to compile and run Java code in Sublime Text 2. Don\'t just tell me to do it manually in the Command Prompt. Can anyone tell me how?

Btw, I am on Windows

Answer 1

I find the method in the post Compile and Run Java programs with Sublime Text 2 works well and is a little more convenient than the other methods. Here is a link to the archived page.

For Windows:

Step 1:

Create runJava.bat with the following code.

@ECHO OFF
cd %~dp1
ECHO Compiling %~nx1.......
IF EXIST %~n1.class (
DEL %~n1.class
)
javac %~nx1
IF EXIST %~n1.class (
ECHO -----------OUTPUT-----------
java %~n1
)

Copy this file to jdk bin directory.

Step 2:

1. Open Sublime package directory using Preferences > Browse Packages..
2. Go to Java Folder
3. Open JavaC.sublime-build and replace line
   "cmd": ["javac", "$file"],
   with
   "cmd": ["runJava.bat", "$file"],

Done!

Write programs and Run using CTRL + B

Note: Instructions are different for Sublime 3.
