Configuring LWJGL and Textpad

[ReptileKing234]

Hello everyone. I have completed the first half of the LWJGL installation process; I have tested LWJGL via command prompt, and everything worked fine.

I am now at the point where I need to get LWJGL working with my IDE; in this case I am using texpad.  I can't seem to figure out how to get LWJGL and textpad working together from the three IDE tutorials (as they aren't for textpad :p ). Any help is greatly appreciated

Can I humbly suggest you use a real IDE? :?
TextPad seems to be just a text editor (Correct me if I'm wrong :lol: )

If you are worried about cost, there are several very nice free Java IDEs out there.

-Personally, I like JBuilder... But its only free for personal use.
-I've heard Eclipse is nice (never used it).
-NetBeans is nice (missing some nice code hi-lighting features JBuilder has and missing the ability to use 2 monitors well. I would probably use it if not for those 2 issues )
-probably some others...

I've tried quite a few IDEs throughout my time working with Java. That includes JBuilder, Netbeans, Eclipse, and several others. Textpad is my favorite by a long shot. I can compile and test normal applets and applications just fine in Textpad.

If LWJGL and Textpad can't be used together, then I'm not above switching to a more standard IDE; but if at all possible I would like to use Textpad for my LWJGL projects. This is because of my preference,  as well as the preferences of 2 other team members

Well, I stand corrected! Now that I actually tried it, TextPad is an IDE :oops:

Anyways, to set it up you need to go to the preferences:
-under "Compile Java", in the "Parameters:" box, add "-cp path/toThe/LWJGLjarFiles " before the "$file"
-under "Run Java Application", in the "Parameters:" box, add "-Djava.library.path=path/to/native/files " before the "$BaseName"

That might work (or at least get you started :lol: )

EDIT: You shouldn't have to switch. It looks like it can do what LWJGL needs.
