It's not that I want to taint CB with horrid flavor of the Java language, but I would like a familiar IDE for Java, and currently, at school, we have TextPad (which, sadly enough, is the best option so far). *shudder*
Does anyone know of any plugins for this in Code::Blocks?
I'd be using NetBeans, Eclipse, jEdit and so, except for the fact that it's difficult to find out how to compile in certain cases and in others it's extremely difficult to work with single files (the most important feature I need) without the bloat of "random" files and such.
[I tried getting the Compiler plugin for jEdit, but that didn't work out that well...]

I'm not really answering your question, but may I suggest you to try JCreator?
It's written in C++ and it used to be very fast (the latest versions have a lot of new features and thus are more bloated and slow, but not as much as IDE's written in Java ;) ).
Please notice that it's a commercial program, but it has a freeware version that, for school users, is more than suffiient (we use it at or university with good satisfaction of teachers and students).

Sadly, no. :P
I noticed Eclipse in your list of couldn'ts, and I just wanted to mention that Eclipse became my new god of IDEs while I was forced to use Java at my university. For what it's worth, working with single files in Eclipse is as simple as creating a new .java file, and compiling is as simple as writing some correct code (it's an automatic, incremental compiler). But since this is a Code::Blocks forum and not an Eclipse, I guess I'll stop singing its praises.
