Java Editor
The Java editor included in EditRocket includes many tools to make Java programming and source code creation easier. Listed below is information on the Java specific tools offered by EditRocket. See the General Highlights section at the bottom of the page for more of what EditRocket has to offer.
Java Code Builder
The Java Code Builder includes class and method information on the hundreds of classes in the Java library. Users can then copy the method information to the editor, and a tooltip will display with the method signature.
Java Sidekick
The Java Sidekick allows users to quickly insert Java related constructs into the text editor with the click of a button or via a customizable keyboard shortcut. The sidekick includes the following constructs: Class; method; main; try, catch, and finally syntax; for loop; if statement; else statement; if else statement; while statement; Inner Class; Inner Abstract Action; System.out.println. The sidekick also includes a Utils tab with options for generating get and set methods and wrapping selections in try catch blocks. Also included in the sidekick is a tab for the Java Method Navigator, that allows uses to jump directly to a method in the current editor with the click of a button.
Java Method Navigator
The Java Method Navigator tool parses the editor contents for Java Methods and displays them in a clickable list. Clicking on an item in the list takes the user directly to the location in the editor where the method is defined.
Auto Method Lookup
EditRocket provides both auto Java method lookup, and manual Java method lookup. The auto lookup is fired off when typing a period. If EditRocket determines a Class or variable pertainiing to an Object is located prior to the period, a list of the methods contained in the class are displayed in a clickable list. Clicking on a method inserts the methond into the editor, and displays a tooltip with the method signature.
Compile
EditRocket has the ability to compile Java classes and display the output from the compilation. Simply point EditRocket to the javac program, and set the classpath.
Execute Java Programs
Users can execute Java programs and view the standard and error output using the Tools -> Execute Program -> Execute Java Program menu option.
