Looking for javap

Hi All,
I am looking for a free download program that will that is described as as code completion.
Obviously it may be also described as: would assist me in getting what possible selections/choices are available as I would type "System." followed by a period.

Someone suggested that I get javap but any good leads or is there some other
free download program that is available.

for example if u want to find the methods of java.util.Vector

then u should execute like this

javap java.util.Vector

ramazanyich

you can use eclipse IDE to edit your java files. It has a completion feature, but also a lot of other helping tasks.

sudhakar_koundinya,

You are absolutely correct.
I found it in :

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin
And my light IDE is DrJava. For the record DrJava does not have an implemetation for javap :(

BUT when I click on it, inside of DrJava it is a 45K of compiled code.
It shows me that code and does nothing. A scan of the complied code shows a nearly first line of copied: !This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

If I click on javap.exe, it showes me an DOS page and a quick flash that I cannot get what it reads, and nothing else happens.

ramazanyich, I suppose that I could use Eclipse but I like what I have.

Where do we go from here?

Execute from dos command. Don't click on that

sudhakar_koundinya,

I know that I should be able to get this correct but.... this error occurs....
Yout instructions show...
Execute from dos command. Don't click on that..

My program is Example.java, that the class files are not with it. Do I need them to be there?

I put the Example.java in the same folder as the javap.exe

set the path
C:\WINNT\system32>set path=$PATH$;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin

then using as one line
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin>javap.exe C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\Example.java
ERROR:Could not find C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\Example.java

What should happen?

sudhakar_koundinya,

These successive operations now with DOS
have been successful.

The output from javap is shown below.
Is that really all that I can expect?
If it is, then it is of really no use.
Can you advise further from what is here and what was in the original post above?

C:\WINNT\system32>set path=$PATH$;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin;

C:\WINNT\system32>cd C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin>javac Example.java

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin>java Example

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin>javap Example
Compiled from "Example.java"
public class Example extends java.lang.Object{
public Example();
void addListeners(java.awt.Window);
public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}

Then move for either eclipse or NetBeans free software
