compilePrj

This macro is for use with WinEdt 5.3 or better. If you are using WinEdt 5.2, you have to use this version.

Description

This macro checks, which files of a Java project have been edited since the last compilation, and then calls the javac compiler only for these files.
It then redirects error messages to a log file. (That's something Windows9x cannot do by itself.)

The macro presupposes that all java files that belong to the project are opened. They don't have to be defined as a WinEdt project though (unlike for the previous version).

Installation

Put the file in %b\Macros\program\ and make a Menu Item (Macro) in Options | Menu Setup:

Exe("%b\Macros\program\compilePrj53.edt")

You may need to specify the full path to javac, if it isn't in Windows' PATH variable.
