I use a 2x4, some rope, and a cornfield. I write my classes just like those guys make crop circles.

I have a room full of winged monkeys, each has been trained to write a single character when I pull their tails. The smart ones do the letters because I pull their tails twice for a capital letter.

That is so inefficient. I use the monkeys and the infinite monkey theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem) until something cool comes up.

I tried that at first but the monkeys kept typing nothing but crap. However, I did make a bit of money selling the output as song lyrics to Bjork!

you could also sell the **** to farmers to use as fertiliser for the soil.

All right, enough Tom Foolery you guys!
"I thought Eclipse was an improper IDE."
What you do you mean improper? I've used it for years, its free, and its very stable. If you insist on programming in the stone age, I suggest using notepad. No, not the Microsoft product, but an actual legal notepad.

Why do you constantly assume that everyone in the world is a web developer?
You don't use Eclipse to edit all text files, surely?
On Windows, my editor-of-choice is TextPad. On *nix, it's vi
georgemca at 2007-7-29 13:30:06 >
I use vi when I'm programming on *nix. Kate on Linux is great, a lot easier to start out with, and has syntax highlighting for pretty much every language u would want to use.
My suggestion is to get an IDE if you are doing serious Java development. NetBeans and Eclipse are both good. Some features of coding in an IDE, such as intellisense, make your life a lot easier.
Personally, I use NetBeans on WinXP for java development.

I write my bytecode directly on disk with a very small magnet like a real man.

i tap it in directly like morsecode with a straight key.

Bows.

how do you write a java program in a bytecode on disk
how you convert words to bytecode and where on the disk?

Editor, smeditor. What do you eat while coding, that's the question!
It's good to chose food that you can either dangle from your mouth
or literally type with. Those big cigar-shaped pretzel sticks are a good
example of this. And I like Chinese food for lunch because I can type
with the chop sticks if my fingers are too slimey. I end up making fewer
typos that way, because I suffer from "fat finger". Right now I'm eating
a Curly Wurly (What you Yanks may think is a Marathon bar
http://www.victoryseeds.com/candystore/confectioners/news/news_marathon_bar.htm )
And it's a bit problematic. Fresh out of the wrapper it's too long to dangle,
and as it gets eaten it gets a bit too soft to use. Story of my life, really...

Editplus is a decent editor. It says its a 30 day evaluation, but it never actually expires.
It also lets you do remote work via FTP, and has numerous plugins that etc etc etc yadda yadda yadda.
I dunno, I just like it.
Personally I am more of a fan of the "Plug-and-pray" technique (which involves taking the degaussing wand out of a CRT monitor and "plugging" it in the harddrive bay and hoping for the best.)

Like a real man, duh.

By sheer maculine force alone, and anywhere I **** well please, respectively.

I use PFE (Programmer's File Editor). No syntax highlighting (which is a crutch for feckless programmers anyway), no built-in links to javac and java (which is a crutch for feckless programmers anyway), no links into the Windows registry (which is a boon to feckless programmers), and other good stuff.

i just checked the PFE website and i see that under features they boast:
"All the standard cut and paste stuff"
talk about crutches!

You could add vi.

So could you!
You know, cause it's wikipedia... :)

I'm nowhere near that responsible.

Q: "Why do you constantly assume that everyone in the world is a web developer?"
A: When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like nails.
Q: "You don't use Eclipse to edit all text files, surely?"
A: Actually, I'll fill out my income taxes with it, once I find the right plugin.

what about edlin?
When playing with that, I learned how to accidently overwrite the FAT.... on the boss's secretary's computer.
