#2 Best IDEs for java==how to compile java program

JAVA IDE

Some of you might already be frustrated by this point. However there is still hope as one can forget about the command prompt and use an IDE (integrated development environment) to work with Java programming. There are a number of IDE’s present, all of them are fine but perhaps some are easier to work with than others. It depends on the user’s level of programming and tastes! The following is a list of some of the IDE’s available:

 BlueJ – www.bluej.org (freeware)

 NetBeans – www.netbeans.org (freeware/open-source)

 JCreator – www.jcreator.com (freeware version available, pro version purchase required)

 Eclipse – www.eclipse.org (freeware/open-source)

 IntelliJ IDEA – www.jetbrains.com (trial/purchase required)

 JBuilder – www.borland.com (trial/purchase required)

Beginners might enjoy BlueJ and then move onto other IDE’s like JCreator, NetBeans, etc. Again it’s just a matter of the user’s tastes and software development area.
