Question

How do we change source code on java programming? Thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

A file with the JAVA file extension (or less commonly the .JAV suffix) is a Java Source Code file written in the Java programming language. It's a plain text file format that's completely readable in a text editor and essential to the entire process of building Java applications.

The text within a JAVA file can be read by any text editor, like Notepad in Windows, TextEdit in macOS, etc.

To edit/change JAVA source code files, you can use a program intended for application development, like Eclipse or JCreator LE. Text editors like NetBeans can also be useful for modifying JAVA files.

steps to edit the source java file in eclipse:

1. Put all source files into one directory named after your project. i.e. "ProjectName" You can keep this directory in your workspace or it can be somewhere else.
2. Start a new project in eclipse and name it using that same project name.
3. Uncheck the "use default location" box and find the directory where your project is unless your project is already in the workspace - then you must not uncheck the "use default location" box
4. Click 'next'.

Eclipse should be smart enough to figure out what's going on. After clicking next, it will show you all of the files it found in that directory. It will just automatically add those files to your project.

Please give thumbsup or do comment in case of any query. Thanks.
