Using Notepad++ to Compile and Run Java Programs

Mohamed Sanaulla — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:43:23 +0000

I had been using Notepad- The one that comes with Windows for a long time for writing Java programs and then running it through command line, though i had Notepad++ installed on my system. But then it just flashed to me that “Why can’t i try Notepad++ for compiling and interpreting the Java programs“. I searched in the FAQs under “Running External Tools” and found useful information which has helped me to compile and run the Java programs right from the “Notepad++” application itself. Here’s how it can be done:

Running External Tools in Notepad++:
External tools can be executed by passing the current edited document as argument. For doing this the “environment variable” is used

The usage of Environment Variable:
$(ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)

Ex: Lets say we are editing “NotHelloWorld.java”

The 5 environment Variable that can be used are:
FULL_CURRENT_PATH: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\JavaP\NotHelloWorld.java
CURRENT_DIRECTORY: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\JavaP\
FILE_NAME: NotHelloWorld.java
NAME_PART:NotHelloWorld
EXT_PART:java

Note: The environment variables must be enclosed with in double quotes.
“$(ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)”

For Java Compiler its: javac “$(FILE_NAME)”
For Running the Program i.e interpreting the byte code its: java “$(NAME_PART)”

The screenshots can guide u much better:

Above: Program Snapshot

Above: Using the “Run” Menu

Above: Typing in the “javac” command for Compiling

Above: Typing in the “java” command for interpreting the Byte Code

Above: The Output Obtained

One can click on “Save” to Save the commands, and the next time the same can be accessed through the “Run” menu.

Accessing Linux Files from Windows Simplified- Ext2 installable File System

Mohamed Sanaulla — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:17:00 +0000

People using dual boot with Windows and Linux and have data spread across different partitions on Linux and Windows will have/are faced/facing the problem of inablity to access files on Linux partitions from Windows. I was using Ubuntu 8.04 extensively some days back before facing some problems which i need to correct. And I was using Azureus for downloading movies from torrents and i found it pretty fast on Ubuntu when compared to Windows where i was using uTorrent. I was impressed by the Axxo torrents, the clarit of video and audio was just perfect and that to for a mere 699 MB. So i had some 8 movies on my Linux ext3 partition and when ever i was on Windows and thought of watching them, i had to reboot into Ubuntu and then watch them- this was really irritating. But the other day i found a blog post in Ubuntu Geek where he had listed some tools for accessing files on u’r Linux partitions from Windows. There were many and i randomly chose Ext2 Installable File System. The installation was pretty quick and there were no hassels. At the end of the installation i was prompted for drive letters for the Linux ext3 partition and the swap partition. I chose U: for ubuntu and z: for swap.

Auto Add contacts in GMail scrapped

Mohamed Sanaulla — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:38:46 +0000

Recently i had started editing all my email contacts- reason? Thanks to the auto add feature of Gmail which would automatically add the email ids of the sent mail and also from Orkut account directly to the Contacts list. Now they have scraped the concept of Auto addition and but in the updated version of GMail they have introduced a new idea where in the the list of contacts to whom u have sent the email are added to the “Suggested Contacts” list and not to the main “My Contact” list.

“My Contacts” is a place to import, store and view all the contact information that is important. One can easily move the contacts to whom they have sent mails into “My Contacts” list. One can also create groups for his contacts so that one can send particular mail to particular group. There’s also “Most Contacted” list which stores the contacts of the people with whom u have contacted most number of times.

The Vacationeers have some new futuristic videos that show an omniscient Google which is already a part of people’s lives. After the creepy video about Google Street View, the comedy group explored some other Google services.

Google Mobile - One can get Search, Maps, Gmail and more, designed especially for your mobile.

My Maps can anticipate your actions and add placemarks in advance:

Google Moon might show some things that you aren’t supposed to know, like the fact that NASA never landed on the Moon.

All these new blogs will take loads of time to gain the readers which they had done in a very short amount of time. But then Blogging has been my hobby for quite sometime. Its out of my interest that i have started another blog. My GMail account which was 4 years old and was planning to celebrate its 4th Anniversary this october is deleted Now i will have to celebrate its death anniversary every year on 18th July .
