You need to set up annotation processor files but I am not sure how to do this.
m:\javaprog>javac streamx.jav
error: Class names, 'streamx.jav', are only accepted if annotation processing 
is explicitly requested

Subject: Re: How to change the default '.java' extension to '.jav'?

Thanks, but I can write, compile and run any Java program from SPF/PC (howbeit 
with some 'challenges') as long as it contains no "import" of classes etc.

All I wanted to know is how to change the default ".java" extension to a 3-char 
one e.g. ".jav", that's all. I can deal with the rest.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers, Chris Poncelet
