Will Eclipse support the ability to just type in some Java code and run it without having to create a project and then associate the main method in the “run” applet?

Sometimes, I just want to type in a piece of code and run it.

In these times, I use TextPad or some other “simple” editor.

It would be nice if I could do this in Eclipse/MyEclipse.

If there’s a way to run a little code w/o creating a project first, I’d like to hear how to do it.

Thanks.

You could use a Java scrapbook page to execute arbitrary java code. Simple create a scrapbook page, type in some java code, highlight it and right-click and execute.

Open up the eclipse help content and take a look at the Java Development User Guide > Concepts > Scrapbook topic for more information.

I should have known there’d be a way to do this. <s>

Thank you very much for your kind reply.
