Recently, I installed the JDK and a java library called LeJOS NXJ, for controlling a LEGO Mindstorms robot. I’d like to be able to set up the language to run through visual studio, which offers J# color coding. The command line to compile the program is:
nxjc "Myfile.java"
and the command line to deploy or download the program to the controller is:
nxj -r "Myfile"
How can I set up a way to make Visual Studio use these options?
When you use Visual Studio for Java work, the editor is more or less as comfortable and helpful as Notepad, so I’d strongly suggest to use an IDE with full Java support for this kind of work. There are plugins for LeJOS support for both Eclipse and Netbeans, two complete, open source, free and easy-to-use IDE’s.
Try them (I’d start with Netbeans but that’s entirely a personal choice) and you’ll see right away what you’re missing when trying to shoehorn Java into VS 🙂
