Asking for the compiler

[fernando]

I have downloaded the Think in Java book, and I'm asking for the compiler that compatible with that book, and where can i get it from?.

I'm already have the JCreator, but i think it needs to another file (may be JDK) so, where can i get this file from?

Thanks.

Compiler thats compatible with the book?
I suggest gettin Sun's JDK in Java Technology, and if u wish to use an IDE, u could download the bundle that have a netbeans inside from there too, theyr all free

If u want another IDE besides NetBeans, u could try Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or JCreator, theyre one of the most common in the net
Though, personally, i personally recommend using a command prompt and a text editor for learning the basics

U could view the Java IDE's thread in this forum
Feel free to look at what others here think bout IDE's choice in this thread too

Notepad or IDE?
