[java] Java IDE

RPGeezus · 2003-10-28T15:53:43

Just getting my feet wet in Java again (I used to use it back in the 90''s) and have noticed that the IDE''s have changed quite a bit. My question is what is the best IDE to use for game development in Java? I would need at the least a decent debugger (ie: the ability to step through my code line by line). Cheers, Will

The only down side to Eclipse is that it doesn''t have GUI building tools.

IBM''s version of Eclipse called WebSphere Sutdio Application Developer has quite a nice one but unfortunately it is far from free. But as smokew says, I would expect there to be a few free alternatives available although how developed these would be I don''t know.
