Compile and Run java programs directly through Notepad++

---

I've always loved Notepad++,because of its ease of use,auto-indentation,syntax coloring and many other features,not found in the default Windows Notepad.
Today,I found an interesting technique,which allows you to Compile and Run java programs directly through Notepad++,without the need to open Command Prompt.
Follow the simple steps mentioned below:

• Download Notepad++
• I'm considering you have already downloaded java development kit(InShort: jdk).If not,download it from here
  Java development Kit
• Once installed,open Notepad++.Open "Plugin" menu
  Plugin=>Plugin Manager=>show Plugin Manager
• Find a plugin in the list,named NppExec,and click on it.Click Install button.
• Now,Go to Plugins=>NppExec,and apply the following.
  
  
  
  1. Disable or uncheck "Console command history".
  2. Enable "save all files on execute".
  3. Enable "Follow $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)".
• Now,go to Plugins>NppExec>Execute
  
  
  
  1. Enter the following commands
     cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
javac $(FILE_NAME)
  2. Then choose Save..and save it with a name Compile
  3. Choose option from the menu,and enter the following commands
     
     cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
java $(NAME_PART)
     
     This time,save it with a name Run
  4. Similarly,Save another command Compile and Run
     
     cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
javac $(FILE_NAME)
java $(NAME_PART)
• Now,the final step is adding these commands in our Macro menu.Go to Plugins>NppExec>Advanced options.
• Enable "Place to the Macros submenu".
• Select Compile from under the "Associated script:" menu,and click on Add/Modify button.Similarly,choose Compile from this menu,write Compile in the "Item name" field,and hit Add/Modofy button.Similarly,add the Compile and Run script.
• Hit OK button,it will ask you to Restart Notepad++.
• Restart Notepad++,open a java program,and compile it and run,using the commands under the Macro menu.
