[java] java IDE?

Well I am registered for a java class next fall and also a lab to go along with it and a friend gave me the course book so I could get a jump start. I have never used or even looked at java before. I am not sure what is the best free ide out there. I have heard of a couple such as netbeans and forte for java. The book comes packaged with forte for java but you dont have to use that for the class. Anyone recommend a good free ide for a beginner to the language. I have forte installed and all of the different optioons looks overwhelming to say the least.

Caveat: Any Java IDE written in Java requires a fairly powerful system to run at decent speed. That''s where JCreator excels, being written in C++ and a totally native app. The downside is that it''s Windows-only, IIRC.
