I use Textpad 5.2.0 because It's easy to use and i like the keyword hilighting it uses.

I currently use eclipse but am trying to convert to netbeans so I can easily develop a GUI. I have only been into java programming for about a year, I have taken 2 classes working towards my major in computer science. I really like eclipse and what you can do with it, but if netbeans can help me develop a GUI that I need for this summer project I am working on I am all for switching, but after downloading netbeans it looks rather intimidating.

Neatbeans is really nice IDE. As you said in GUI applications it's much easy to use. (Actually I don't know eclipse can do this or not, I've never use it) Try with latest version. You feel what I say.

Yes, it's much better. Working on such a IDE, you have lots of advantages. Most of the syntax have to keep in mind. It's not easy, but it's much better.

Any comments rather than because of open source. There are more open source IDE available. NetBeans

Now im using bluej. it is pretty horrible compare to other ones, but its perfect for me. for one, its simple (unlike other ides i tried ) and i really like the way it shows the project hierarchy. The one fault i find in it is its syntax hilighting isn't very good. I think it's the best ide for a beginner.

What are other IDEs you have tried? Did you try NetBeans? For me, it's much better than bluej.

I tried netbeans and it probably is a thousand times better, but i'm not very advanced in java yet, and i prefer a simpler IDE. Its working for me, anyway. Other IDEs are alot better in quality and functions, but I really like the way blueJ works. Its a step up from textpad/command prompt, in any case

hehe... yup... I like to know how Java works first before using any IDEs..

My teacher said to me.. that I must be familiar with Java codes first..

hehe... he said that a true programmer can code w/o using any IDEs..

He's just talking nonesense I think..

It's your choice pal At the beginning it's better to use a simpler IDE for coding in Java. SO you can memories a lot, it's much better.

Before IDEs come to the picture all are working on command prompt. It's not an IDE(Integrated Development Environment). On command prompt(also know as console) there is nothing integrated of Java. Coding on notepad(textpad) and do the compiling and running on the console.

That's the way Java get use of in the past before IDEs come.

a true programmer can work without an IDE, but he would be a fool to do so. Eclipse ftw!!

Really, only thing need to care of is about memory. But in those days each PC has over 512MB memory usually.
