I don't know if anyone has posted this already or would even like this, but I found it useful to do this.
Basically, these are cmd (windows batch files) for command line compiling in java. (You need to have the JDK installed.)
1)Copy the code inside the ***s as the given file name in your C:\ drive
***************Save this as javac.cmd @echo off
title javac %2
echo compiling %2
@cd %1
javac %2
echo compile complete...
@pause
******************************************
***************Save this as javadoc.cmd @echo off
title javadoc %2
echo compiling %2
@cd %1
javadoc %2
@pause
*********************************************
********************Save this as java.cmd @echo off
title java %2
@cd %1
java %~n2
@pause
***********************************************
2) create these Run... commands within notepad++ (feel free to save them and map them to keys - I use F5, F6, and F7, respectively.
Just to let you know that I had successfully configure by javac(F8) and java(F9) to port my Crimson Editor v3.70 setting to Notepad++ v4.2.2.
Below is my reply oneweb.
As we know that to compile Hello.java file, we type the following command in the windows command prompt:
javac Hello.java
Then, Hello.class java bytecode file will be generated by the java compiler. To run this Hello.class file, we type the following command:
java Hello
Therefore, what the "java %~n2" command actually means is that we java/run the baseName of second argument in C:\java.cmd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(FILE_NAME)". The "$(FILE_NAME)" or Hello.java is the second argument but the basename(%~n2) of the second argument is "Hello".
// create these Run... commands within notepad++
// (save them and map them to keys - I use F8(javac) and F9(java),
// respectively because of my previous Crimson Editor setting
C:\javac.cmd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(FILE_NAME)"
C:\java.cmd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(FILE_NAME)"
// just in case you want to edit your run setting, you may configure it from
// C:\Documents and Settings\ytbau\Application Data\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml

3) You're done! Now you have a light, fast Notepad++-driven Java IDE.
But the java command doesn't work for the .java source code,... Only for the .class bytecode that the .javac command generates...
I tried what you said assuming you know more than I do, but nothing seemed to happen when I executed them from Notepad++...
Can somebody explain in more noob terms, please?
Thank you for iguessnot posting.

Hope this help.

}

Thanks very much! Just what I needed at the time...
I could be wrong but javac compiles the .source into a .class which the java command can run.
What does the %~n2 specify though?
