Thanks to both of you, but Webstorm was faster and a little more helpful in this case.

I do a lot of java programming while I'm at school, on my laptop. &nbsp;However, my laptop is old, slow, and has very little room left on the hard drive. &nbsp;I've tried using several IDE's on it, but they all either run too slow, take up too much disk space, or are complicated and hard to learn how to use.<br />

I'm trying to develop a very simple IDE for personal use, and am stuck in the conceptual stages because I'm not sure how to implement my design. &nbsp;I'll be using com.sun.tools.javac.Main to compile, and I'm assuming that I'll just use Runtime.exec() to run the programs. &nbsp;The problem is that I don't know how to redirect standard output from a process like that.

Change System.out to append in a JTextArea

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
