So we in the Bulgarian Java User Group wanted to build Valhalla, and no IDE (Eclipse, Intellij Idea) supports it. We needed some simple text editor with some java support. And Sublime Text 3 (with Javatar) is the one we chose.
Sublime is a fancy editor written in C and Python. Javatar is a plugin that adds some Java support.
Installing Sublime Text 3 beta is straight forward. Installing Javatar is:
[openjdk@localhost valhalla]$ cd ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/ [openjdk@localhost Packages]$ git clone git://github.com/spywhere/Javatar.git |
Setting up the correct java is: Ctrl+Shift+P --> "javatar" --> Javatar Settings - Default
Then change the javac and java locations:
Creating projects is a bit uneasy - create new project is actually called "Project -> Save as".
And then we can run some code (fist compile, then run):
Cool. Quick, direct and helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for putting this together, because the javatar site is not friendly about installation. I wasted around an hour to get it right.
Some points, so that others could save time,
1) For ubuntu users, If jdk is installed in a folder, don't give full path.
For example, i have installed jdk here, at /home/dbabu/jdk1.8.0_40.
So in the Javatar config file, give only /home/dbabu.
2) Don't use a slash at the end, so its just /home/dbabu and not /home/dbabu/
I got this error message every time i try to build :
javac: invalid flag:
