JTPad1.0

Learning new programming languages can increase the  chances of getting a good job while improving your knowledge at the same time, and can turn out to be quite useful in your personal life.

No setup required to launch

The Internet is filled with professional websites where you can learn various languages and see which one is the best for your purposes. JTPad is a small yet efficient application that comes in handy for everyone who needs a simple editor, to compose simple codes, compile and launch them.The app doesn't require any installation, which means it can be dropped on an external drive and directly started on any computer without prior setup. In order for the tool to run smoothly Java needs to be present on the hard disk.

Create and compile numerous codes using an approachable layout

It's wrapped in clean and intuitive interface which supports multiple tabs and comes with a standard toolbar that bundles all the essential functions to easily write. You can open JAVA and TXT files while the output is saved only in JAVA format. To get started, just start writing the desired code or paste existing content from another source. If you made a mistake or you are unhappy with the result, the undo and redo commands come to aid to go back to the previous text.Plus, if you want to change particular words to other, you can use the find and replace function. In addition, it's possible to enable the line number to help guide you through the code and view the output in the web browser. Once done, the tool lets you compile and run the code to determine if it's working or not.

Handy features that should've been integrated into the menu

Unfortunately, the app doesn't come with a special highlighting system that most language editors have, to be able to differentiate specific functions and elements from eachother. Plus, there is no option to modify the processor's background and pick a desired font, size and color.

The bottom line

Taking everything into account, JTPad is a straightforward and accessible program that comes in handy for those who only need a small yet efficient tool to easily compose codes and compile them.
