[TxMt] Re: Using TM to compile Java

[Luke Daley]

It does produce class files, it just stores them in a temp dir.

There is nothing currently to do what you want. This quickly becomes a slippery slope as you need more features and you are better off having a build that is not tied to a particular development environment.

I'd suggest looking at (in order of personal preference):

Gradle - http://www.gradle.org/
Maven - http://maven.apache.org/
Ant - http://ant.apache.org/


The hang you are experiencing is because of tm_interactive_input.dylib… it currently has issues with any Java that uses Swing classes.

You can disable it by running (from within TextMate):

mv "$TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/tm_interactive_input.dylib" "$TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/tm_interactive_input.dylib.off"
