Hi
I just wrote a simple Java FTP program using the terminal and 'javac' to compile and 'java' to run. I was wondering If I can compile this using the project builder. When i open up my file in the Project Builder, I dont see any options to 'build' or 'run'.

can this be done? If so, it would be really nice to type in project builder rather than the terminal.

thanks

also is there a way to pass in command line arguments using the 'run' command in project builder?

for ex.

java ftp ftpserver.com 2345

That is the command i use in terminal to execute my ftp program, giving it host address and port number.

thanks

I think the way to do it in project builder would be to create a new project (Java Application) and give it the same name as your main class. Then you can add your source file to the project and you should be able to compile and run it through PB. This is the general idea, i'm not sure if everything is exact, but play around with it. The point being is that i think you can only compile projects, not individual source files that are unrealted to any specific project.

Also, i haven't seen any way to add command line arguments when i run a java app from PB, although i have to admit i haven't looked very hard at all. I hope that helps!
