Coming up to speed...the java way...

Could someone please help me?

I was a programmer in a previous life. My last formal class was in fact, Java2.

That was several hard drives ago, it seems...much has happened. However, to my credit I did save my project files.

I would like to download a basic java development tool where I can edit, compile, debug (wink), recompile, and run java code. I used Cafe something or other in the class I took.

I'm currently using windows 98se for reasons beyond my control.

My goal is to make a simple website for a new hobby...you guessed it, raising goats.

Is there a kind soul out there who would care to list the items I will need and perhaps a site or two to download them from?

Thanks so much in advance.

Whats the strange facination with goats in these forums?Anyways ... I use NetBeans 4.0 as my IDE. Its free, easy to install and free. Did I mention it was free? Eclipse is another you may want to check out although I've never installed it

Both Eclipse and NetBeans may not run well (but try them) on your machine - take a look at jEdit http://www.jedit.org It's an editor that can be enhanced to do all that you said with plugins - there's about 60 of them.I like it as well as Eclipse or NetBeans for smaller

If you want to build a website with java, you should download Tomcat.

There's a very good book for programmers who wish to begin with Java, Tomcat, MySQL, namely the "Apache Tomcat Bible" from Eaves, Jones and Godfrey. It explains the lot, like downloading and installing java, Tomcat, MySQL, Eclipse.

And it contains the source of a web application built following the Model-View-Controller design pattern. A must have, I'd say.

Post the URL of the site once you host it. I might raise a few as well...
