Compiling Java code in Vim more efficiently

Question

I come from an Eclipse background, but I love Vim as a text editor. I\'m currently experimenting with Vim as a Java IDE. Currently I do this to compile:

! javac          


        

Answer 1

if you don't use any package in your java class, then

//compile
:!javac %

//run
:!java -cp %:p:h %:t:r

map F5 in the .vimrc file to automate the build

map  :call CompileRunGcc()
func! CompileRunGcc()
exec "w"
if &filetype == 'c'
exec "!gcc % -o %<"
exec "!time ./%<"
elseif &filetype == 'cpp'
exec "!g++ % -o %<"
exec "!time ./%<"
elseif &filetype == 'java'
exec "!javac %"
exec "!time java -cp %:p:h %:t:r"
elseif &filetype == 'sh'
exec "!time bash %"
elseif &filetype == 'python'
exec "!time python2.7 %"
elseif &filetype == 'html'
exec "!firefox % &"
elseif &filetype == 'go'
exec "!go build %<"
exec "!time go run %"
elseif &filetype == 'mkd'
exec "!~/.vim/markdown.pl % > %.html &"
exec "!firefox %.html &"
endif
