Command Line from within Sublime Text

command linejavasublime-text-2

I recently switched from Notepad++ to Sublime Text 2, and it's amazing. There's one thing I'd appreciate and that's compiling my files from the same environment. Sublime text has a console and a command pallets, but none of them can execute regular windows commands.

So for example, I'd simply like to run javac program.java and java program from a console from within Sublime Text.

Is such thing possible yet? If so, how to do it?

The "Show Console" button shows the Python console that is embedded into Sublime Text not the usual OS terminal. If you want to open a terminal in the folder containing the edited file you can try Sublime Terminal package.

EDIT: @Darren: if so then look in the Internet on how to run terminal commands from python shell, Google has a lot of links to them.

The easiest way, though, would be utilizing Windows's PATH environment variable. It ensures 100% the same functionality and doesn't involve you putting anything into the Windows directory. There's other questions directed at the same thing, the answers in this thread should put you up to that.

Windows – Console2 – open new tab in existing session from cmd

Sorry for self-promotion. I'm the author of another Console Emulator. One of its features - is opening new tab from existing tab (from any program or batch file). Just type

"%ConEmuBaseDir%\ConEmuC.exe" /c program.exe <arguments> -new_console

arguments - (optional) switches of program.exe. -new_console switch has several options.

-new_console[:abch[N]ru[:user:pwd]]
 a - RunAs shell verb (as Admin on Vista+, login/passw in Win2k and WinXP)
 b - Create background tab
 c - force enable 'Press Enter or Esc to close console' (default)
 h<height> - i.e., h0 - turn buffer off, h9999 - switch to 9999 lines
 n - disable 'Press Enter or Esc to close console'
 r - run as restricted user
 u - ConEmu choose user dialog
 u:<user>:<pwd> - specify user/pwd in args, MUST BE LAST OPTION

BTW, you may start same way GUI programs in ConEmu tab, or start console tools from GUI applications (started in tab).

Attach of existing console or GUI app is also available.
