Paths

Location of compiler
Location of the compiler used to compile source files and projects. Press the Browse button to search for it.

Location of interpreter
Location of the compiler used to interpret compiled files. This is useful only for java.exe, and will have no effect if Use C Compiler is selected in the Compatibility tab. Press the Browse button to search for it.

Location of interpreter
Location of the program used to view applets. This will have no effect if Use C Compiler is selected in the Compatibility tab. Press the Browse button to search for it.

Use custom classpath
This option allows a custom classpath to be used. If this option is selected, then the classpath specified should contain all classes which you wish to use, including the JDK classes, separated by by semicolon (or another character specified in the Compatibility tab). If this option is not selected, then Hotpad will search for the JDK classes from the directory of the compiler. As of this version, the files which are searched for are ../lib/classes.zip (JDK 1.1) and ../jre/lib/rt.jar (JDK 1.2, 1.3).

Location of JDK documentation
Location of the JDK documentation files, which can be downloaded from http://www.javasoft.com/. Select the JDK version you are using and use the Browser button to select either index.html or installation.html in the documentation folder. This option is useful only when developing Java applets and applications. Only the JDK 1.1 and 1.2 documentations are supported at this time.

Location of .html browser
Location of web browser used to launch the documentation files. Press the Browse button to search for it.

Note: If you are using the JDK 1.2 or 1.3 and the path of your browser contains a space, the documentation may not load properly. In this case, either enter the MS-DOS names for the files/directories which contain spaces or enter start for the browser name.
