JCreator Compiling Then Executing Automatically

[Prince Pwn]

I'm using JCreator and I just went through all the options and did Google searches with different keywords, and I could not find out how to make JCreator automatically compile when I press F5 and then run my html in the Applet viewer. I'm used to RTP where you just hit F1 with your .java file, and it compiles and executes. In JCreator, you need your .java file and .html file open, then you must compile the .java and then F5 the .html.

Is there a way n JCreator to F5 the .java file to make it compile itself then execute the html code, or F5 in the html file to compile the java then execute the html?

I believe if your create a project, then click "Compile and run project", it will compile all files and run it. I used to use JCreator, however switched to NetBeans.

You have to remember though, now that you're out of RTP, that you know the difference between IDE and compiler. JCreator is an IDE, it simply is an editor, with shortcut buttons (the F5 button runs the main file, the Compile button runs the javac tool on all files). Have you tried compiling and running programs using the command-line? I think you should experiment with that first.
