Question

Which software is used to write and run JAVA programs.?
i am currently learning CORE JAVA..

Answer 1

you can use either eclipse or net beans which both have integrated compilers, but i recommend you to use eclipse because its cross-platform

Answer 2

I had seen both, I think I would prefer Eclispse, since one can develop Android Apps since Google makes this IDE the official one for app development.

That's just me, that would one of the main reasons, probably there's lots of others, but I haven't used this IDE that much to know :D

Answer 3

If you are a beginner in Java Programming.. BlueJ is the right choice.

Heres the link: http://www.bluej.org/

But in order to make it work..u need to download the JDK, which you can find here.

Thanks for theinfo :) I might download it to start learning java too, but will use eclipse for android development :P

Answer 5

Answer 6

I use the one I freaking want >:L :p

Answer 7

First download latest version of JDK (JDK 1.6 or later). then use eclipse (Java IDE) or NetBeans. You can try JCreator LE also. All are free to use. I will prefer Eclipse...

Answer 8

see Eclipse is "the Boss" :D But that BlueJ seems promising for beguiners.

Answer 9

You shouldn't go for any IDE. For a beginner of core java you should do it in notepad or vi editor.

Answer 11

I had started learning CORE JAVA by using notepad and following the method as explained by phk09 ..
what will be the difference if I use a software like eclipse , net beans ,blueJ etc ?

Answer 12

Using(typing) notepad is error prone? but you will learn better from your mistakes. eclipse is much more user friendly, good for creating a complete project, easy to track errors, powerful and much more. you can start with notepad and then move to the eclipse or netbeans whatever you like. but please don't follow or try copy paste method, try to type codes by yourself.
