Is anyone here familiar with BBEdit 9?

A while ago I made a topic about wanting to compile and run Java programs with a text editor. I was using TextMate for a while, but ending up switching to BBEdit. It does the job, but I can't figure out how to compile and run the Java programs I write. This is what I get:

I'm not sure what a "shebang" is.

It looks like it's trying to invoke some kind of bash script which is lacking a line like

#!/bin/bash

or similar.

Hmm... All I'm testing is a basic Java program...

#!/bin/bash

public class Hello {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello World!");
	}
}

This will let me run the Terminal, but then I get this:

I don't think BBEdit will do a compile and run for Java. It just tries to run it like a shell script (and never compiling it), which is why it thinks it needs a shebang.

Edit: Found this: http://nanotux.com/blog/bbedit-java-compiler/. Might help.

I've never seen a java program start with #!/bin/bash...... that's for bash scripts...

Yea, a Java program would never need the shebang. It's just that BBEdit's "Run" command just tries to run whatever you've made as a shell script and not use the specific method of whatever language you're writing in.
