For all of Eclipse's bells and whistles, I find it astonishing that I am unable to simply obtain a console window that I can enter commands in so that I can quickly run a some java code. For example, I've used DrJava previously, a much more basic editor than Eclipse, but it was handy in that it allowed me to create a class, compile and then run it with a command such as: java myProg(1, 2, 3) and then instantly view the results. But how can this be done in Eclipse? Is there a way??? Confused

Hi

Eclips has no Java shell or alike. I guess you have two options:

1. use your favourite shell: cd into your project; do whatever you want

2. If you just want to run some code snippets, give the scrapbook pages
(file > new > scrapbook) a try
