Does anybody know where I can get a good Java IDE/compiler? ---- Herb M. (mdfmKoRn) s3202@attbi.com
maybe from sun?

yeah, look for Forte. It''s programmed in Java though, so it''s very slow.

I hear a lot of talk about IBM''s IDE too, Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/

It''s written in Java but uses their own GUI architecture to get around Swing''s slowness.

There''s always JCreator too. There''s two versions, LE (which is free, but has less functionality), and Pro (which will cost money). You can take a look at it on www.jcreator.com

My university decided to buy licenses and support this IDE instead of using Forte (which is free) b/c it''s sooooo much faster. Then again, I use Forte b/c it''s free and I don''t like programming in the cpu labs on campus, but am forced to deal with it''s slowness. There are always trade-offs I suppose . . .hope this helps.

I have alwasys used Textpad (free to d/l) as my editor. It then uses the default compiler that comes with the SDK from Sun - which I find does a fine job. Hope that helps

Thanks everyone.

TheQSource: That''s definitely what I was looking for! Comming from a background in MSVC, it was perfect.
