I tried to setup my Sublime Text 4 to run Java. Currently I still do a lot of things on Sublime Text. It runs faster than VS Code and I already develop a lot of snippets and keyboard mapping that I become so used to, leaving Sublime Text is not so easy. But the annoying thing about Sublime Text is it does not come with good debugger. So if I were to run some Java codes, I can not debug them easily. I will need to switch to VS Code in that case. Anyway, I still want to set up my Sublime Text to run Java in quick.

I consulted pages such as

1. This one.
2. This one.
3. and this video. They all provided good solutions but still I failed to run my code.

I figured out it had something to do with the space in my file name. The solution is to add double quotation marks around the file path. But quotation marks are special symbols in the build file, so we need to escape them.
