isnt there any other IDE which can be more efficient and light as java itself to support GUI as many programs as such needs too much processing time of processor and memory and in those cases if IDE itself will consume resources then situation can worst
so I need some reliable IDE at least better than console for various debuggings

java is neither light nor efficient. to be honest, all an IDE will do for you at the moment is shield you from some basic debugging skills. carry on with the command-line until you've got a good understanding of both the language and the processes involved in compilation and debugging

YEP!!!! IDE's hides so many important things on the core java, on compilation and running classes.

While I agree with you in principle, I've found that the navigation abilities of ide's most helpful. I can easily find method definitions, etc, source files for other classes, javadocs, and the list goes on. plus, we all make mistakes, and IDE's point them out when we make them, making it easier to fix them.
As far as code generation goes, I wouldn't use code generated by an IDE, but as far as the navigation capabilities, IDE's make things WAY more convenient.
