I'm currently in the middle of the Java Basics course, and I am looking to utilise some other learning materials to supplement what I have covered to date.
This book suggests using Textpad as an alternative to command prompt/powershell for basic java programming (I know I can use workspaces here too). The only hiccup is getting jshell to work. I'm used to workspaces in which I can just enter jshell in the console, so if there's anyone who has used Textpad, is jshell supported?
