JavaRunner

JavaRunner is essentially a wrapper application for the java/javac programs in the JDK. It's purpose is to allow you to control the running and compiling of .java files within HomeSite and ColdFusion Studio. The only testing I have done is with Homesite & Studio 4.5.2 on Windows 2000 Professional, but it should work on other configs as well, provided you have the vb6 runtimes.

Please excuse my lack of documentation - help - support - verbiage - dribble...I wrote this for my own personal use without much intention to release it. Use at your own risk!

JavaRunner 1.11

The latest enhancement has been the addition of Clipboard support. Now you can simply click a button and copy the Runtime Output or the Compiler Output. There is also a button to copy the HTML code if you compile an Applet. Check it out!

Features include

Clipboard Controls: Copy Compiler output to the clipboard
Copy Runtime output to the clipboard
Copy HTML to the clipboard (Applets Only)
Full Applet control panel.
Generate <param> tags at runtime. - now uses <object> and <embed> for greater compatability with browsers
Select Appletviewer or your default browser.
Customize your applet's Name attribute in the tag.
Automatic Percentage handling for AppletViewer (100% and the like makes appletviwer cranky).
Saves all values entered automatically so you don't have to re-enter them every time you run your applet.
More Robust compile/run handling
Removed -verbose directive on the compiler - it annoyed me, if you want it back let me know
Exits gracefully if there were no compiler errors, runtime errors, or stdout data to display. (saves you an Esc keystroke); Copy Runtime output to the clipboard

JavaRunner 1.2 Plans

Plans for the next release of JavaRunner will include things more focused on the javac handling. Things I'd find usefull. Below is a short list of some planned features:

A "settings" feature to allow you to configure javac command line switches (-verbose, -nowarn, etc)
Better documentation...if I get a chance to write something decent
Possibly some color-coding of the output from the compiler to help you to speed-scan through the flood of text.
Maybe a bit better "applet/application" determination. I'm currently just looking for "import java.applet" in the source file. I may add an option at "applet-time" to decide if you want to run as an application if the source provides a main() method.

Anything you wanna see added? Drop me a line. The only guarantee I can make to seeing your requests implemented is that if I can save time because of it, I'll surely implement it. Don't be discouraged by that, so far, every feature suggestion has been implemented.
