P.S. No knock on eclipse, it is a great IDE, however it does use a fair amount of recources to run and for a beginner wanting to learn the language probably not the best option.
For rapid application design you'll need a GUI builder such as eclipse or netbeans.

I would like to recommend Kawa IDE for a beginner since it do not consume much spaces and memory and ease to use.
Kawa is no longer being maintained, never was free (so any version you find is pirated), and is WAY outdated.
I used to use it myself and it was indeed nice, but it's certainly not a good tool to use anymore and hasn't been for years.
Eclipse is a good choice for an editor. Just don't use any of the wizards, toolbar buttons, or menus except to create a new project or file.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

there is, as BlueJ doesn't provide a strict implementation of the language and allows illegal language constructs t be compiled.
It also hides far more from the user than any other IDE, all in the name of "teaching OO".

We used BlueJ at college, its buggy crapware and slow. And I didn't realize how much Java I didn't know until I tried to make a project without it. I was never taught another about command line parameters or how to create jar/manifest files or even how to use packages. BlueJ does have support for packages but it has horrible navigation.

Actually, that's what I started it in. Became a headache very quickly. Scrapped it, started from scratch with netbeans, so much nicer.

I never got round to doing that? I still do it using a manifest file from the command line.
