I can't seem to find an option to remove auto-remove the .java~ file that get automatically created. After I save the file, I don't need it anymore. any way I can get rid of it?
To disable the creation of the .java~ files, please start DrJava, and select Edit --> Preferences in the menu bar. In the Preferences window, select the Miscellaneous pane, and then remove the checkmark from "Keep Emacs-style Backup Files."
The reason for creating these files is to provide a backup in case you save the file, but you realize you made changes you didn't want.
I hope this helps.
