Editors For Java Beginneers

Rob2000 · January 25th, 2005, 11:34 AM

As someone new to programming I'm looking for a simple editor to use for Java. I used "Textpad" last semester and I'm now looking for something equally simple but in addition checks syntax. Any suggestions?
BTW: I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm running XP2 and Java SDK 1.4
Thanks,
- Rob

It's not simple, but it doesn't eat rediculous amounts of resources or require multiple instances for multiple files. Our school has us using JCreator, and I consider it quite good thus far.

I've quite enjoyed jEdit - you can also see the source code which is all java.

What plugin do you have to install with jEdit to run java programs. Also, how do you compile and run classes that are in packages with jEdit?
