JAVA IDEs

I'm sorry if I seem silly asking this, but does anyone have any recommendations for FREE IDEs that work with JDK 1.5.0?

Hi There,

Java Studio Creator and Netbeans are the 2 free and extremely popular IDEs for Java Development from Sun.

If you are a newbie to Java or just want to do rapid web Application development use Java Studio Creator. But if you want to create more complex J2EE Enterprise Applications, Netbeans would be your choice.

The links are

Java Studio Creator - http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/index.jsp

Netbeans -

www.netbeans.org

Hope this helps.
