Hi Gustavo,

I'm not sure why you would try to code Java outside of an IDE?

Most backend languages, especially Java and Swift, in my opinion, need to be coded with an IDE. Any project bigger than "Hello World" would probably be near impossible to complete with just a simple Text Editor.

I've never attempted Java in a text-editor, and I'm really not sure, but I don't believe there is a way to bring in the dependencies... at least not in any simple manner.

There may be ways, as there are with Ruby to use the console, but I have not seen or heard of anything like that for Java. I don't do much with Java per say... I do more for Android and use Android Studio, but IntelliJ really should be the way you go if you're pursuing Java Development, which is why it is the only thing used here in Treehouse courses.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. :dizzy:
