I've been using Textpad for all of my Java development when working on a Win32 platform. What I do is create a batch file (see below) that will add all the jar files required for development and then invoke Textpad. The reason that this works is that any process (Textpad) invoked from a shell will assume all environment variables (classpath settings) set for that shell. Just save the sample below as a text file with a .bat extention and then execute the file.



Hope that helps.

Oh, and remember to include activation.jar as well!



-- Sample batch file to invoke Textpad --



set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:jdk1.3.1libmail.jar;

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:jdk1.3.1libactivation.jar;

call "c:program files extpad 4 extpad.exe"



-- End sample batch file --

You cannot set classpath specific to textpad like in other ide's . You will have to set it in the system environment classpath/variables.
