Java Forum / First Aid / April 2005a stupid question
When I click on link for .java file in the sun tutorials the file opens not in my JBuilder IDE as it should do but in Internet Explorer as .htm page. If I right click and 'Save target as' it can only be saved as .htm Why is this? Sounds like some setting in IE is overriding the .java file association with JBuilder ?? .java is associated with JBuilder in my Control Panel. TIA patrick > When I click on link for .java file in the sun tutorials the file opens not > in my JBuilder IDE as it should do but in Internet Explorer as .htm page.

Scroll down to JAVA. Does it have JBuilder there?

I'll check the headers and see if it's being sent as the right mime type. MSIE ignores extensions if they send the wrong mime type, IIRC. Did you try Firefox or Netscape?

Patrick, You have two options. Get a different browser or figure ways around the stupidity of IE. I have .java files set for my IDE but going to an HTML link with a .java file displays it in the browser for me as well. If you go to the page with all the links, i.e. the .../example-1dot4/ page, you can right click on the link and select Save target as... It will default to HTML for the file type. You should be able to change this to All Files. If you cannot try adding double quotes around the filename. For example, if the file is bob.java then enter "bob.java" in the save dialog. This works in most Microsoft applications. When you wrap the filename in double quotes it ignores the File Type setting and saves it as named. Another stupid feature of Windows is hiding known file extensions. If this feature is turned on and the file is named bob.java.html you will see bob.java in the Windows Explorer but when you double click it, it will open in IE because it is really bob.java.html. I ALWAYS turn off this feature. Go to Windows Explorer, select Tools->Folder Options, go to the View tab, unselect "Hide file extensions for known file types". As a developer I also like to see hidden and system files so I change those settings as well. > On this page: > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >> http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart > >> http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace SignatureSend e-mail to: darrell dot grainger at utoronto dot ca Yes that solves my problem simply enough. That thing about file extensions has been mystifying me for years. So I display the full file extension, Save Target as, change to all files, replace the .htm with .java and the save then works properly. IE must replave the .java with .htm at some point which is not very sensible. thanks patrick > Patrick, > [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] >> >> http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart >> >> http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace > Yes that solves my problem simply enough. > That thing about file extensions has been mystifying me for years.

It saves as Java (.java). In Windows Explorer File Types, I have file extensions showing and I have hidden systems folders showing. I just can't get the stupid thing (MSIE) to prompt me what I want to do with the file when I click the link. If I click the link, it just opens in MSIE. I have to right click and do "save target as". Annoying.

Looks like yet another MSIE PITA setting or something... The thing is, clicking properties, MSIE knows darn well it's a java source file and says so! (properties -> type: Java Source File) My guess: I know that at least once I opened a .java file in MSIE and it prompted me what I wanted to do and I told it to open in the window and I clicked "don't ask again". Oops. If I had more time, I'd try to putz with it, but for now I'd have to recommend you get a real browser. :) http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ I might come play with it again tomorrow if I have a chance just to see if I CAN fix it. It's probably a registry setting. Oh, if you want to copy and paste it from MSIE and are seeing the nasty formatting I saw when I first pulled it up, right click in the window and choose automatic encoding (encoding->auto-select). At least it keeps the formatting nicer that way. Signature-- ~kaeli~ It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace kaeli, thanks for all that. Switch to Firefox i suppose is the answer. It may be something to do with IE attempt at stopping popups which I know nothing about.... Im fairly sure this used to work fine in IE. patrick >> http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/ScrollD emo.java >> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > choose automatic encoding (encoding->auto-select).

May be because the java file you think to get is an HTMLized java code source? Just make IE display it and then "Select all", Copy and Paste. > .java is associated with JBuilder in my Control Panel.
