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

I followed a post in this thread and got it working perfectly:

Make the bat file with the following, and save it anywhere in your PATH. I suggest C:\Program Files\Java\jdk*\bin\ to keep everything together.

@ECHO OFF
cd %~dp1
javac %~nx1
java %~n1

then edit C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\Java\JavaC.sublime-build, the contents will be

{
   "cmd": ["javac", "$file"],
   "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
   "selector": "source.java"
}

replace "javac" with the name of your bat file (for instance, javacexec.bat) and save it.
