Create HTML file with JBuilder

Auburn · 08-04-2004 11:09PM #1

Maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't figure out how to create a HTML file within JBuilder. I'm writing a help file for my application, which I will display within a JFrame. However, when I go to File -> new or whatever, I can't seem to create a file with the .html extension, it only lets me create .java. If I import a HTML file from elsewhere, it doesn't show in the project hierarchy on the left and the application can't find it.

Apologies for the probable stupidity of the question

You don't need to use anything other than a text-editor (notepad/vim/whatever) to write HTML.

I have no experience with JBuilder, but AFAIK it's an IDE for writing Java stuff, not a HTML editor. You don't need to add a file to a project in order to be able to get the program to read/parse/display it.

If you need a HTML editor there is at least one free one available with Mozilla.

:rolleyes:
What I think Auburn means is "is there any way to add/create a .html within a project" --> ie: it's visible in the project hierarchy & therefore included in the jar file..
put the .html in the appropriate folder (explorer.exe); jar the project - then (winrar is easiest) look in it to see if it included the .html..

That'd be the thing then. I do stuff the 'old-school' way. I find the command line makes me much more productive

Ok thanks guys. I probably didn't phrase the question very well.

Yes, I am aware that JBuilder is not a HTML editor. I meant what Karoma said. I have been using JBuilder as a jarring tool and thought it would be handy if I could include the HTML for jarring. Ah well.... suppose I'll just do it the manual way if noone else has any ideas.
