Cafe

A simple vim plugin for compiling and running Java code on Windows

This is a very simple plugin that adds several functions and a menu allowing the user to easily compile or run the current file.

The functions:

1. cdFileDir(): This function changes the current directory to the location of the file in the current buffer. This function is run by the subsequent functions.
2. JavaCompile(): This function asynchronously executes javac to compile the file in the current buffer.
3. JavaRun(): This function asynchronously executes java to run the compiled version of the file in the current buffer.

The menu:

• Alt-C opens the Cafe menu
• Once the Cafe menu is open
  • 'd' runs cdFileDir()
  • 'c' runs JavaCompile()
  • 'r' runs JavaRun()

Installation:

Clone into your ~/.vim/pack (%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\pack on windows) directory (create the pack directoty if it doesn't already exist).

Cafe.vim only supports Vim 8 or later (for asynchronous execution).

Cafe.vim currently only supports Windows as it makes use of a Windows only feature. I hope to find a way to accomplish the same thing in a cross-platform manner in the future.
