Mini Java Editor - By Lim Thye Chean
====================================
Hi, this is a freeware Java editor. You are welcome to distribute it to 
anybody. If you have any problem installing the software or have some
suggestions, please email to me to the address below.

It has been developed and tested on the Windows 95 and NT system. I am
now testing it under Solaris 2.4 and it does not seem to work correctly.

It supports the following features:

* Project file handling. 
* Multiple window editing and compiling.
* Use javac for compilation - and double click on error to edit the line!
* Global search and replace with case matching.
* Go to line number.
* Different font, style and size selection.
* Ability to read and convert between MS-DOS or UNIX style text file.
* Full editing functions.

This editor is totally written in Java JDK 1.0. It is an AWT example for   
Java programmer. Source codes are included.


INSTALLATION
============
To install, copy all the files to a directory. You need to have "java" 
interpreter already installed in your system.

Windows 95/NT
-------------
1. Change the path in the mje.bat file to that directory.
2. Go to View->Options->File Types in the menu bar of any folder and add two
file types "java" and "project".
3. Run the mje.bat file.

Tips: create a shortcut to the mje.bat file and place it on desktop. Change 
the icon to any icon you like. You can also drag a file to it and open the 
document.

Solaris
-------
1. Set the classpath to that directory.
2. Type "mje" to start the editor. 

Note: there are bugs in the Solaris JDK - changing the font will resize the 
text editing area. The output window will also not display the error message.


TO DO
=====
* Preference saving.
* HTML file support (start AppletViewer, web browser, etc).
* Use multi-threading.
