I've never used a Java IDE ever, but I've heard that Eclipse is one of the most used.

Java programming environment
I'm looking to start getting more serious in Java programming, and I'm looking for some sort of programming environment.
Does Sun provide something? Are there any other decent java programming environments I should look at aquiring?
I'm running a linux box (which I prefer), but have access to windows in case all the best tools there..._______________

It was mentioned in the previous post, but I'll mention it again, give Eclipse a try. It's a great development environment and there are tons of plugins to extend it to other languages.
It's Open Source and free to use. It's very well maintained since IBM uses it and it's plugin environment for a number of their products. Reply With Quote

So it appears that Eclipse is only a windows product... Or did I miss the link to a linux version (suse 10.0 preferably)?

Eclipse is for linux too. All you need is to download the JDK. Depending on which distro you are using, you can find rpms by googling it. rpmfind and others have it.

Everyone in my old company and the first company I worked for uses Eclipse. There was Net Beans being used a while ago, which use a shared source as Eclipse I believe, but now everyone is on Eclipse. Lots of support and plugins for Eclipse so its probably your best bet.
My current company is a Windows shop, no Java around here._______________

I'm a Java developer and use Eclipse mostly.
IntelliJ is about the best IDE out there but it isn't free. I've used it though and it's awesome.
Sun also has one, I used to use an old version and I liked it mostly for the visual design of Swing/AWT apps (think Visual Basic), but I don't code desktop apps so I don't require that functionality (form designers usually create awful code anyway). Reply With Quote

Another vote for Eclipse, which incidentally originated here in Canada (Ottawa).

If you're running SuSE 10.0 like me, eclipse should already be in YaST. Just search for eclipse.

Cool...
I'll give Eclipse a try this weekend...
How about some resources for Java programming. I've done a search, and it seems like both on the web and in print, everyone and their grandmothers seems to have some sort of Java help resource.
Can you point me to some worthy web sites, or some worthwhile books?_______________
