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

Refer the solution at: http://www.compilr.org/compile-and-run-java-programs/

Hope that solves, for both compiling and running the classes within sublime..... You can see my script in the comments section to try it out in case of mac...

EDIT: Unfortunately, the above link is broken now. It detailed all the steps required for comiling and running java within sublime text. Anyways, for mac or linux systems, the below should work:

modify javac.sublime-build file to:

---

#!/bin/sh

classesDir="/Users/$USER/Desktop/java/classes/"
codeDir="/Users/$USER/Desktop/java/code/"
[ -f "$classesDir/$1.class" ] && rm $classesDir/$1.class
for file in $1.java
do
echo "Compiling $file........"
javac -d $classesDir $codeDir/$file
done
if [ -f "$classesDir/$1.class" ]
then
echo "-----------OUTPUT-----------"
java -cp $classesDir $1
else
echo " "
fi

Here, I have made a folder named "java" on the Desktop and subfolders "classes" and "code" for maintaining the .class and .java files respectively, you can modify in your own way.
