This is a problem, at this stage.

I have not used Editplus, but I suspect
it is doing the compile/run for you,
is that right?

You need to be able to understand how
these things (java, javac) are run from
the command line or bat files, then _when_
(not if) your more advanced IDE starts
to do things you do not understand, you
can figure how to fix them.

[ As an aside, I was recently using Eclipse
when it exited abnormally, it would not
restart - not even with an uninstall/reinstall.

Right now I am using TextPad, a much
lighter weight IDE, and if that suffers the
same fate as Eclipse, I would go back to
Notepad and DOS.

Without the understanding of how to compile
& run from the comand line, swapping between
IDE's becomes much more difficult. Especially
if you do not immediately know where the IDE
stores the source or class files! ]

I recommend you put aside Editplus for the
moment (_particularly_ if it makes development
'dead easy') and come back to it once you
know how to work from DOS.
