Allow user input when running programs (e.g. Java).

[cookiesui]

I love Sublime Text 2 and want to use it as my main IDE, but I can't compile and run Java code all without leaving the editor.

Actually, I can. I can compile and run Java via JavaC.sublime-build, after making a few modifications to it:

Code: Select all

{
   "shell": "true",
   "cmd": ["javac", "$file", "&", "java", "$file_base_name"],
   "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
   "selector": "source.java"
}


...But the problem is that if the program asks for user input, it will just give an error. So I have to use Java from the command line to get any program with user input to work.

Here is an example of the problem:

This is a very nice feature. It would also allow us to run any shell/command tools frameworks such as rails, grails, roo, play, etc

[xeno.by]

This is much-much harder to implement than plain stdout redirection, though I would love to have this out of the box as well.

For now take a look at https://github.com/wuub/SublimeREPL.
