Note: The illustrations below were produced by Steve Schoenly using
UltraEdit version 10.00b.
Go to
www.ultraedit.com
for information about the current version of this software,
and for a large collection of screen shots of the current version of this
editor provided by its author. The screen illustrations below were
produced by S. Schoenly and are not intended for commercial use in
any way. See the UltraEdit web site for all official information
concerning this commercial software product, and for information about downloading
the shareware form of the program, buying a registered copy, etc.
1. Go to
www.ultraedit.com
to download the UltraEdit editor. Follow the instructions concerning
evaluation of the software. Purchase a copy if you use it.
Install the UltraEdit program. The default installation directory would
be C:\Program Files\Ultraedit
or something similar.
2. Download and install the JDK software on your machine.
The installation directory
might be C:\jdk5 (as shown in the illustrations here)
or something similar if you use a different version of the JDK.
(I recommend that you install the JDK software into a simple
directory like c:\jdk5, rather than the default directory which
will be deeply embedded inside your Program Files directory.)
3. Run UltraEdit. Click on "Advanced", then "Tool Configuration".
Enter the information
exactly as shown below to create a tool to run the javac compiler.
Click "Insert" to add the tool to your tool list. This tool can be used to
attempt to compile the file currently in the editor.
4. Again click on "Advanced", then "Tool Configuration".
Enter the information as shown below to create a tool to run the
java application execution program. Click "Insert" to add the tool to
your tool list. This tool can be used to attempt to execute the (previously compiled)
class associated with the file currently in the editor.
5. Again click on "Advanced", then "Tool Configuration".
Enter the information as shown below to create a tool to
run the appletviewer program. Click "Insert" to add the tool
to your tool list. This tool can be used to attempt to run the (previously compiled)
applet associated with the current edit file
(either a .java file or an .html file).
6. Create as many other tools as you wish. For example, a tool to go to
a DOS console window might be useful. (The command to invoke a console
window on a typical Windows XP machine is: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe)
Remember to click "insert" to add new tools to your list,
or "replace" to save changes in an existing tool.
Click "OK" when you are finished to save everything.
7. The tools created above can be accessed by clicking "Advanced", then
selecting the tool that you want.
However, you can also add clickable toolbar
buttons to make use of your tools even easier, as follows:
right click on the tool bar; select "customize"; then click
"advanced". You will see entries for user tool 1, user tool 2, etc.
Each can be dragged to the position on the tool bar that you prefer.
The new clickable buttons appear as numbered hammers as shown here:
8. Now that you see how the UltraEdit editor can be programmed by you, feel
free to set up UltraEdit on your own PC to suit your own style and
preferences. Happy Java programming! Please email me with suggestions,
questions, or comments about the use
of this editor in the Java classes at the University of Mississippi
Computer Science Department.
