This is my first post here, so, please let me know if I posted this question in the wrong place or something. Thanks.
So, I recently reinstalled the Java SDK and TextPad after deciding that I wanted to get back into Java programming.
I compiled and ran a test Java code to see if everything got installed correctly. All seemed well until I happened to take a look at the folder containing my .java and .class files. I noticed that a bunch of batch files had populated that folder while I was messing around with my test code. I don't recall these appearing back when I was learning Java and using an older version of TextPad.
Is this something that TextPad does now? Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or, I suppose a better question would be, does this happen to anyone else or is this only happening to me? If it's only happening to me, then what did I do wrong during my installation of the Java SDK and TextPad to cause this to happen?
I mean, once I exit out of TextPad, the batch files get deleted, so, it seems that they're temporary files. However, like I previously mentioned, I don't recall this happening back when I was learning Java and using an older version of TextPad, so, I would like some insight into preventing these batch files from being created every time I run a compiled Java code through TextPad, if possible. They're kind of annoying, in my opinion.
TextPad Info:
Version 6.1.3 (32-bit)
Java Info:
Version 1.7.0_09 (64-bit), Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)
OS:
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Content of one of those batch files:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD "\Users\<PATH of class file>"
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin\java.exe" -classpath . test
PAUSE
Thanks in advance. :)
