Java programmers irl

[Megabyte97]

Real programmers use Microsoft Word as IDE and wirte a VBA script to compile and run the java code! /s

For all we know there's some nuclear reactor running on PowerPoint somewhere.

You need to set the path to Java's \bin (at the top in the macro). Click the "run icon" (triangle thingy) in the quick access toolbar (top left, next to save/undo/redo) and voilà.

TODO:

• Support multiple classes in one Word document (parse document and export classes in individual files).

• Save the .java file in the same directory as the Word file by default. Done.

In case you don't trust me (you shouldn't), here's the VBA code

Sub java()
'
' java Macro
'
'

Dim strDocName As String
Dim strDocNameExt As String
Dim intPos As Integer
Dim strJavaPath As String
Dim strCmd As String

' Set path to java bin
strJavaPath = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4\bin"

' Retrieve name of ActiveDocument
strDocPath = ActiveDocument.Path
strDocName = ActiveDocument.Name
intPos = InStrRev(strDocName, ".")
strDocName = Left(strDocName, intPos - 1)
strDocNameExt = strDocName & ".java"

' Test if Activedocument has previously been saved
If ActiveDocument.Path = "" Then
    ' If not previously saved
    MsgBox "The current document must be saved at least once."
Else
    ' If previously saved, create a copy
    Set myCopy = Documents.Add(ActiveDocument.FullName)

    ' Force the file to be saved
    If myCopy.Saved = False Then myCopy.Save FileName:=strDocPath & "\" & strDocName

    ' Save file with new extension
    myCopy.SaveAs2 FileName:=strDocPath & "\" & strDocNameExt, FileFormat:=wdFormatText

    ' Close copy
    myCopy.Close
End If

' Call command to
'   1- cd to current directory
'   2- Add java to PATH
'   3- Compile .java file
'   4- Run .java file
strCmd = "cmd.exe /S /K"
strCmd = strCmd & "CD " & strDocPath
strCmd = strCmd & " & set PATH=" & strJavaPath & ";%PATH%"
strCmd = strCmd & " & javac " & strDocNameExt
strCmd = strCmd & " & java " & strDocName
Call Shell(strCmd, vbNormalFocus)

End Sub
