You can use JCreate which is free and you can download it from www.download.com

Have you looked into Eclipse?

I am currently using Jcreator too. http://www.jcreator.com

Definitely look into using Eclipse http://eclipse.org . I eschewed IDEs for a long time. I've tried all the commercial IDEs and disliked them. I was probably the only developer in my department who still used the console text editor vim exclusively. Finally Eclipse crept up on me; I felt like I had been technologically ignorant and asleep for the years that Eclipse existed and I had not been using it.

Hi everyone,
One of my friends recommended me a java ide called Java IDE 1.7
It seems to be a very simple ide to use. This ide is something like borland's
turbo c compiler.

Just thought you guys would like to know.

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

I would recommend Netbeans. The last versions are very good. Netbeans also gives J2EE, SOA, Mobility and other things for free which may be interesting for you.

Just forgot to post a link: http://www.netbeans.org/community/re.../55/index.html

This is the Enterprise Pack preview with SOA, XML tools and other staff

Why do you recommend Netbeans to someone who tried it and wants something else?

The best is Eclipse. Mac, Unix, Linux, or Windoze.
