Compiling the program

---

Now we want to compile the program. If you are using the trial version of Simplicity for Palm OS Platform, the composer will not create a Java source file. Use FinishedBrowser.java instead for the rest of the tutorial.

1. Select 'Java Source files' in the Project Tree.
2. You want to bring up the pop-up menu for the TextBrowser.java icon. This is usually done by clicking the right mouse button on the icon, but this behavior varies on different operating systems. You can also show the pop-up menu by holding the shift key and clicking the icon with the mouse.
3. Choose 'Compile' from the pop-up menu. Simplicity for Palm OS Platform now invokes your Java compiler to turn the Java source code which you just created into an executable file, called a Java class file.
4. In the Project Tree, choose 'Java Class Files'. You should see an icon named TextBrowser.class (or FinishedBrowser.class). This file is your compiled program.
