[256 byte] By [JavaBUZZa] at [2007-11-27 7:51:45] 
Hello,I am looking for a programming environment for Java and I see Sun has 2: Java Studio Creator and Java Studio Enterprise. My first question is What's the difference? Is one better? Do you pay in some way for them? Thank you.Chris

I am also relatively a newbie involved in migrating my existing projects in to Creator.
If you are looking for a new programming environment in JSF - Studio creator is ideal for mass application development in a very short time.
All you need is to take pains in customizing the designer frame and everything should fall in place.
If you're migrating your project from some IDE ensure there is very less work needs to done and dont complicate things.

Java Studio Creator (JSC) is for rapid development of web applications, and is based on JSF. Java Studio Enterprise (JSE) supports broad range of technologies for developing sophisticated scalable applications, such as EJBs and web services.
After discussion with the user community, the future for JSE and JSC has been redirected to NetBeans open source. For links to the discussion, see http://developers.sun.com/jscreator/reference/faqs/installation/creator_or_vwp. html. IDE source code was contributed to NetBeans, and many features from JSE and JSC are now available at http://www.netbeans.org/products/index.html as NetBeans Enterprise Pack and Visual Web Pack 5.5.1. The IDE migraton will be complete when NetBeans 6.0 is released late this year, and all users will be encouraged to migrate their projects to NetBeans. Meanwhile, JSE and JSC are still supported, but not receiving new development.
If you're just getting started with JSE or JSC, consider switching to NetBeans now. That's where new development of the IDEs is happening, and that's where many users are having "how to" discussions about application development with the newest IDE features.

I didn't quite answer all your questions, so here's the rest.
Q1: What's the difference?
See my earlier reply.
Q2: Is one better?
Neither is better. JSE and JSC serve different purposes. JSE is bigger. If NetBeans has the features you need, then it's better because it has the latest performance improvements and bug fixes.
Q3: Do you pay in some way for them?
All IDEs from Sun and NetBeans are now free. There's no charge to download, use, and distribute applications developed with the free IDEs. You can even get a free CD at http://www.netbeans.org/about/cd-form.html, but downloading gets newer versions.
Expert Assistance from Sun for all IDEs is available at a very modest charge from http://developers.sun.com/services/index.jsp.
