    Hello World

      Frankly, (especially if you're not running Windows) just use the command line + notepad/other text editor. Installing the command line tools is much more annoying under Windows, but it gives you a better idea of what's going on than "IDE magic". Sun has tutorials here that can walk you through that, regardless of OS.

      If you /really/ want to use an IDE, I'd recommend Netbeans. It's reasonably easy to use and also free.

          I learned Java (and most of my programming knowledge) on the Notepad/Command line combination. If you take that route, Notepad++ is a very nice text editor (not IDE) designed for programming and scripting languages.

          I also recommend BlueJ - it was fairly easy to learn to use. I have not tried Netbeans, but Laharl is a good expert to trust on these matters ;)

              Kumusta bro!!...

              If you like to learn fast in java, use the JCreator Pro....
              If you are good in code experiments, stay in notepad...
