Is Visual Java the same that Java?

I use NetBeans, nothing wrong with it as an IDE.

Is there any compiler that is easy to use?

Its the same Java, only differences are that it has own VM from Microsoft, and has NET support. I used Net Beans, JCreator (Lite), but they didnt suit my needs. Visual Java (Java Shar or J#) is the way to go. Its free till November 2006, so get your copy now! :)

Best features:
-Great debugging (Like in MS VC++)
-Speed
-Auto Complete for everything!

The default Sun SDK compiler is extremely easy to use. To compile class foo, you simply use javac foo.java.
Sun are giving away Java Studio Enterprise for free if you join the java developers network....which is also free :)
http://www.jcreator.com/ is best in my opinion.

Eclipse with JDT (Java Development Tools) is probably the best you can get. It's free, fast and easy to use. Eclipse has it's own implementation of a Java compiler. You will need a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to execute Eclipse itself and the .class files produced by Eclipse.

You can get Eclipse from here:
http://www.eclipse.org/

J# is *not* Java. Microsoft aren't allowed to call it Java because it is incompatible and doesn't conform to the spec. J# is really C# with a slightly different syntax.

I second that. Fastest IDE out there.

You should also check out this site. Just kidding.
