[java] Good Java IDEs
Author
Can anyone recommend any decent IDEs for Java? I''ve used VC++ for a long time so I''m sort of spoiled by its IDE. I wanted to know what was out there for Java.
Thanks!

If you have a crapload of ram and a fast processor, Forte kicks major rear. Min spec is 128MB ram.
Otherwise, jcreator is a pretty good source code editor. But it''s not an IDE.

If you can get an older version of Kawa (4.0 or below) then that''d work fine. Almost as functional as JBuilder, etc. but quite a bit smaller in resource usage. (http://www.allaire.com)
Ever since Allaire took over Tek Tools though, Kawa has become a bloated, expensive steaming piece of turd. :-(
Nowadays though I don''t use an IDE preferring to stick with an editor like VIM (or emacs, hey I''m hip) and using a little tool called Ant to build everything. Ant is a Make-like tool which is pretty cool and does most things an IDE won''t like creating a custom build directory structure, scripting CVS checkouts into your build process, jarring and unjarring files as a part of your build process, etc. (http://jakarta.apache.org)

I guess my computer must be crap cuz no matter how you slice it, Forte is f***in bloody slow!! I have an AMD 850 MHz with 128 MB PC-133 RAM. Those aren''t exactly weak specs. However, I must admit that it''s the best free Java IDE out there, albeit slow and incredibly bloated. It has many nice features.
Besides the excellent yet antiquated and proprietory VJ++, I haven''t used any commerical IDE. I hear alot of them are written in Java (WHY!?!?!), so expect them to be as slow and bloated as Forte.

Personally, I fell in love with JBuilder 4 as soon as I started using it.
Its picked up in regards to JBuilder 3 in speed (where you would have to shu down a project and reopen it to force the grabage collector to run) and I find it brilliant.
JCreator Also looks like a good tool if speed is your serious issue. (Also depends on what your creating, Jbuilder is built very well for EJB and Servlet support)
I gave up trying to use JCreator when I couldn''t import a 3rd party package in about 10 minutes. Maybe I should have perseveered, but I have a short attention span for software.
Just my 2c

I use a small program called JEDplus for my Java IDE. I like it ok and its free. I couldn''t get in to Forte or Netbeans that much, but I never tried some of the others so you might like them. JEDplus is only like 1.8 megs so if you are on dialup it would be one to look at.
