can DW 8 compile java code

Question

True beginner and studying JAVA.

I've done a google search and got back some vintage 2002
information that DW is not a JAVA IDE. So I can not use it to
develop java classes with it. Is that still true in 2008?

I have DW8 available to me at work and I'm used to it making
simple web pages. Otherwise I'll learn and use netbeans 6 or
myeclipse. Not my idea of a good time.

Thanks

There's nothing tostop you writing Java classes in Dreamweaver, but there are no codehints, and it cannot compile Java.The only Java-related support in Dreamweaver is forJavaServer Pages (JSP), and that is being removed from the next version:http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402489Since you're studying Java, you already know the difference,but just for the benefit of anyone else reading this, Java is not thesame as JavaScript. Dreamweaver makes extensive use of JavaScript.-- David Powers, Adobe Community ExpertAuthor, "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3" (friends ofED)Author, "PHP Solutions" (friends of ED)http://foundationphp.com/
