Usually when you're building a program you have a main method, and to test if the small changes you made work, you just run the program like normal.
I like building libraries however, and I'd like to quickly test some methods to see if they work correctly.
Currently I just create a dummy Main.java file and run that, but I'm wondering if there's a better way.
(I'm not looking for unit testing, just quickly testing prototypes)
Thanks!

If you just want to write some code, without a main method: jshell/jbang/java playground.

How do those interact with changes to the code?
e.g. I've seen jshell but if I make a change to a method, will that be reflected
For example this is the kind of snippet I want to test:
JsonTokener tokener = new JsonTokener(new StringReader("""
{
"hello": "world",
"test": "me", // test comment
"oy": [
"one",
"two"
]
} // Hi
"""));
int next = tokener.nextRelevantCharacter();
while (next > -1) {
System.out.print((char) next);
next = tokener.nextRelevantCharacter();
}
System.out.println();
Well if you don't want a main method, nor testcases a more direct approach is just running the script directly in jshell.
