So I guess you're confirming what I suspected, that there is no 
simple way of doing a "new file - write - compile - run" cycle 
without the hassle of setting up projects etcetera...

Allright, I can live with that. I understand that Eclipse was 
designed for handling bigger java projects, and I will use it for 
my bigger projects indeed. But I'll stick with JCreator for the 
simple course exercises.

Thanks for the reply,
