I used to use Jcreator quite a bit and BlueJ sometimes when I programmed in java.
Reply:BlueJ is a simple editor for Java. It's prefered by a lot of beginners.





Netbeans is the "official" editor for the Java language and you can download it along with the Java SDK. This editor is more powerful, but some people find it more complicated than BlueJ.





Eclipse is basicly an alternative to Netbeans. Alot of people prefer this to Netbeans.





(BTW.. For anything, but Netbeans, you need to download and install the JDK separately.)





I would recommend downloading all 3 and trying them for yourself. It shouldn't take long for you to determine which is the right one for you.
Reply:Eclipse or Netbeans would be fine places to start.


Skip things like BlueJ -- you'll just end up learning that program and nothing about Java.





Personally, I strongly recommend a command prompt and notepad and calling "javac" and "java" directly with an SDK install. This will make you actually _learn_ Java and what's going on. If you take the easy way out early on, you're going to short yourself on some fundamentals. There are plenty of tutorials on Sun's pages to get you started this way.
Reply:Eclipse is the best tool to use. It is free and open-source.
