software tool

Hi guys,

I'm new to java. So far I was editing my simple program and compiling and running it from command line. Now as it becomes more complicated I would like a simple software tool where I can do these things and also debug the program.

Is there something like that? I was trying to use NetBeans but that already seems too complicated for me. I cannot load my single java file and compile it or run it, I need to create a project that by default comes with an unnecessary complicated structure and some template code.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot,

Pao

I use jEdit, opensource, written in Java and therefore cross-platform. The current 4.2 version is quite good, and there are a ton of plugins that extend and customize it. The Console plugin can compile and run pgms, jCompiler can compile. http://www.jedit.org

There are others - I see no need to pay for one. Search the forums for editors.

You will eventually switch to an integrated development environment like netbeans, altho Eclipse is probably a better choice. In any case, it is worth the effort to figure the basics of these tools out, even if there are some pain at first.

Under Unix (including Linux) a fine syntax.highlighting multi-window regexp-aware editor is NEdit, the Nirvana Editor. www.nedit.org
