I use jEdit (www.jedit.org) with the "AntFarm" plugin. When I want to compile, I don't even bother with the "Compile Current Buffer" command, because that would require me to set up my classpath within the editor, etc. Instead, I just invoke the "AntFarm->Run current target" command, which does the compile. That way javac is only ever invoked from within ant, and I always know exactly what classpath it is using.
I used to use JDEE, and you can do pretty much the same thing in that environment. In my opinion, setting up the buffer compile features in JDEE is a waste of time. Just set it up to use Ant, and do all of your compilation that way. I've never used NetBeans, but I bet you can do the same thing. Hope this helps. -Matt Moran ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Slatcher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 5:41 AM Subject: Ant-Editor Integration > Hi all > > I have been using Ant for a while now and have recently been looking at a > few editors and IDEs for Java development.
