Thread: textpad & java

ok so i read paddys thread but it didnt solve my issue. Our instructor requires us to use textpad and only textpad with java. I have windows 7 and i have downloaded and installed jdk 6 update 17 and then i downloaded and installed textpad 5.3. thing is, when i run textpad, its not aligned to compile java. i checked in configure->preferences->tools but there was no java options under the add menu. got any idea how I can get textpad to align with the jdk? ive reinstalled both numerous times but textpad never aligns with java.

no not the textpad that comes with windows, i actually downloaded textpad 5.3 after downloading and installing java 6 update 17. Normally with windws xp i was able to download and when i installed textpad after java, it would already have the java applet compile and stuff like that under the configure---->preferences----> tools option it doesnt do that on windows 7 and im wondering how i can get it to have those in the tools/add menu in preferences.
