Installing Java SDK and TextPad:
TextPad is Windows only.
Note / full disclosure:
Using TextPad because this is the recommended editor for Java courses I teach.
And it is super fast, simple, light weight, it does everything I need for the majority of my projects, and I like it !

Note / full disclosure:
On date this video was recorded (13-Jan-2020), I am using Java 8 32 bit and Textpad 5.4.2 (32 bit).
But the latest versions of both should work fine.
Troubleshooting:
Check all comments and replies below this video.
Configure - Preferences - Tools
Add "Java Compile / Run Commands" or similar
Check TextPad's support section:
https://textpad.com/support/index.html
Make sure you have matching 32 or 64 bit versions of each
Windows 64bit - Java SDK 64 bit and TextPad 64 bit
Windows 32bit - Java SDK 32 bit and TextPad 32 bit
If still problems, install 32 bit versions of Java SDK and then TextPad
If still problems, install Java 8.x 32 bit versions of Java SDK and then old TextPad
If still problems, use your favourite Internet Search Engine. :)
