Hi all
I have been a huge enthusiast of vb6, with its superb IDE. On reading one of
the Dummies books on Java I am disappointed to see no IDE but just laborious
code. This seems a big step backwards. Is there an IDE?

able to cobble things together that I need. So what I look for in an IDE is
something that just lets me get on with the coding.
By far the best IDE is MS Visual Studio, but unfortunately that's no good for
Java. On the Java side, the 3 I have had occasion to use are JDeveloper,
Netbeans and Eclipse.
Commercially Eclipse seems to be the most widely used. People who know it well
say much the same as the old "Vi" masters used to say - difficult to learn, but
hugely powerful once mastered. I find Netbeans the "Nicest"/easiest to use, less
cluttered allowing me to concentrate on getting the Java working. This mind is
for Console/Swing type Java apps. For web based (JSP) apps with web server
plugins (Glassfish/ Apache) I find Eclipse easier to set up and work, but
Eclipse is a bit too busy for my liking.
JDeveloper is worth a look at but I think it is a little too much for the
novice. If you can get the required web server plugins to work you will probably
find Netbeanss easier to work with. If you know that you are going to be doing a
good solid 3-4 months of Java work, then it's worth investing the time in to
learn Eclipse.

There are some. The most popular are IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and
Netbeans.
Netbeans is said to have one of the best GUI-Designers around and a
pretty outstanding support fro J2EE technologies.
Eclipse has been the primary choice in most projects I have encountered,
which doesn't mean that it's the best IDE. Eclipse doesn't have any GUI-
Designer, at least not out of the box, but it's quite extensible, so
there are a lot of plugins to add the functionality you need. Some
companies I've worked with have even rolled their own plugins for it to
hepl their development process. It's also most famous for having a
differential compiler that compiles on save (by default), which means:
If you save something not everything gets built, but only what needs to
be rebuilt, so your turnaround time "save", "test" is very fast even in
giant projects. Also Eclipse is more than just an IDE, it's rather a
rich client platform that has a pretty good Java IDE as most successful
reference application.
IntelliJ is quite famous for its rich support for other JVM languages,
extensive refactoring tools, a rich set of useful plugins a and very
slick user interface. IntelliJ is often cited as being the best IDE
there is, and in fact it's impressive! Everything feels very well
integrated. But everything beyond the community edition will cost you
some money.
So what to use? Tough call! If you plan to make a business with Java,
Eclipse should probably be your primary choice, because it's most widely
used, followed by Netbeans I guess. Both of which are free to use
commercially. For IntelliJ IDEA, there is a stripped down community
edition, which is still on par with the other two IDEs and should be
your choice, if you plan on programming in Groovy, JavaScript, PHP,
ActionScript, LUA, Scala, Clojure, Ruby, Python, Erlang and some others,
see: http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=1347
There is also Plugin to integrate the "JFormDesigner" GUI-Design-Tool.
Kind regards,
Wanja

Well, if you're actually planning to make a business with Java, IntelliJ
IDEA is probably the best choice. It saves so much time, e.g. has
working Maven & SVN integration. Also, the commercial edition is rather
cheap.

Having a good IDE that saves your time is one thing and a good choice if
it is your very own project, but fact of the matter is: Most of us work
in other people's projects and as far as I have seen the majority of
those are using Eclipse.

It has the eclipse compiler built in otherwise it can be set to use the jdk that is installed on the system you run it on.
