User's Guide to the Java Editor

This class provides a text editor specialized for editing Java source. It is automatically invoked whenever you open any file with a ".java" extension. Java is an object-oriented language developed by Sun. Java is similar to C++, but Java has a few new features, such as garbage collection. Java also is missing a few features C++ has, such as multiple inheritance.

The EditJava class is derived from the EditCpp class, and therefore inherits all of its features, such as invoking make. The EditJava class colors certain Java constructs, such as comments.

The appletview choice in the Special menu brings up the appletviewer program and loads the file being edited into appletviewer
