IDE needed to write java for windows/mac/linux
im looking for a simple IDE to write java programs for the windows platform initially(a student web application project).
I have fink installed but i havent quite come to grips with it thus ideally a 'non fink' obtainable IDE would be ideal. Thanks very much BTW im also trying to check if i have the developers tools installed on my mac, how can i check for this and would the developers tools contain an IDE |

Got a Developer directory in your root directory [ /Developer/ ]? |

That is the installer for the Developers tools. Invoke it and you will be rewarded.

A very, very, very simple IDE for Mac OS X is 'JJ Edit'.

Ahh.... the great debate of IDE's... well, kind of. Anyway, to get back on the subject, here is a list of IDE's that are free and some others that are not. In no way is this an exhaustive list but it'll get you started. I've listed simple text editors at the bottom as well. I personally like eclipse, idea, and netbeans for an IDE and also like vim and Hydra for quick text editing. There are plenty of choices so use the one that you feel fit your needs the best.
Free Eclipse - eclipse.org JEdit - jedit.org NetBeans - netbeans.org Project Builder - comes with OS X Not Free Forte - sun.com/forte idea - intellij.com/idea JBuilder - borland.com JDeveloper - oracle.com Text Editors emacs vi vile vim xemacs Hydra - hydra.globalse.org |

I use JBuilder8 on OSX and it works well. Once upon a time Borland used to provide a lite version called "JBuilder Foundation" which was free for personal use. I don't know if they still provide such a thing.

JavaOSX,
I understand that Borland stop porting JBuilder for OSX. The latest free JBuilder Personal I downloaded is version 7. Kindly confirm whether you are using JBuilder8 for OS X currently. |

Yep, JBuilder8. There is no install directly to OSX, but all you need is to compress the installed directory on another machine and put it onto your osx machine. Two posts about this: http://www.alofmethbin.com/computing...der8_post1.txt http://www.alofmethbin.com/computing...der8_post2.txt Works just fine. J |
