Do You Know Any Java Programming Environment?

[raphnix]

Hey guys! I've recently using SunOne Studio as my Java Programming and Runtime Environment.

Though it has some good features, still I can't make easier and faster GUI programming there. Hope you know some other Java Environment that are open source and more advance.

Netbeans is the most popular Java IDE nowadays.

Wow! java! I haven't heard that name for a long time...I think its JDK something environment that I use to program..

IntelliJ IDEA is the bets and fastest IDE. NetBeans is veeeeeeeeeeery slow. Also you can take a look at Eclipse IDE.

[raphnix]

I didn't heard IntelliJ IDEA before and Eclipse either. I'll try to search that. Do they have free software download for that?

[devunion]

Eclipse is free. IDEA is not.

[raphnix]

Can you tell me the features of IDEA compared to NetBeans or with SunOne?

[devunion]

This is fastest IDE. As I don't use GUI builders (they generate ugly code), it allow me to work really fast.

Either Eclipse or NetBeans.

Both are Free. Borland JBuilder costs money but most people prefer Eclipse because of the plugins. They are also cross platform.

Java Programming environments can be divided into two very different types: integrated development environments and command-line environments. All programming environments for Java require some text editing capability, a Java compiler, and a way to run applets and stand-alone applications. An integrated development environment, or IDE, is a graphical user interface program that integrates all these aspects of programming and probably others (such as a debugger, a visual interface builder, and project management). A command-line environment is just a collection of commands that can be typed in to edit files, compile source code, and run programs.

Some Notes on Java Programming Environments

ANYONE WHO IS LEARNING to program has to choose a programming environment that makes it possible to create and to run programs. Programming environments can be divided into two very different types: integrated development environments and command-line environments. All programming environments for Java require some text editing capability, a Java compiler, and a way to run applets and stand-alone applications. An integrated development environment, or IDE, is a graphical user interface program that integrates all these aspects of programming and probably others (such as a debugger, a visual interface builder, and project management). A command-line environment is just a collection of commands that can be typed in to edit files, compile source code, and run programs.

very true .. java is mostly for environment and command line... to run amplets and alone applications to stand... but JAVA has been useful for many programmers and developers as well...

You can try Greenfoot.

there are some java programming toolkit such as jdk (java development kit), java 2 sdk_1.3 (software development kit) , java sdk 1.3. Through this u can do java program. i am sure that java2 sdk_1.3 can satisfy you for doing java program.
