Java?

There are two free editors for Java that are very popular, and very good. Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org Forte/NetBeans: http://www.sun.com/ http://www.netbeans.org/ (forte is built with netbeans by sun, they have a free version, and a commercial version) Some Java books I like include: Thinking in Java, By Bruce Eckel CodeNotes for J2EE, by Gregory Brill The CodeNotes book is not very indepth, it's about the size of a novel, but it can bring you up to speed on J2EE very quickly, and that's why I like it. Other recommendations include using tutorials there are lots of them at http://java.sun.com/ Use the JavaDoc documentation a lot.

Hi Sorry to jump on someone else's thread but does anyone know if any of these IDEs have pop up help like coldfusion studio? I'm looking for an editor Which will help me gain some more familiarity with the built in class libraries.

I've used Borland JBuilder and Visual SlickEdit.  Both of them provide popup help, code completion, on the fly compilation, etc.  Personally, I preferred JBuilder, even though it was pretty slow.  But it's, IMO, a very good Java IDE. You can also check out JEdit.  I don't remember though if it provides the popups. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: mosh.teitelbaum@evoch.com WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I just came across this site today: http://www.joegrip.com/ Uses flash movies to teach you Java. _____________________________________________ Pete Freitag CTO, CFDEV.COM http://www.cfdev.com/ Hello all, Sorry for the somewhat off topic post, but as I have noticed many people on this list have gotten into J2EE (Java) stuff.

Great!  Finally, interactive tutorials with the *printed* material included online!  It's like attending an expensive MM class, then having the printed material to take home as a reference! Only it costs thousands less!  And you can *attend* the class as often as you like for 6 months! Sure wish Ben Forta would create materials like this *online* for his new books!  (How about it Ben, and other authors? This *is* the way to go. How can it be that when learning about programming for online presentation, we *still* are directed to a bookshelf instead of online for information?) He's got the right idea...use Flash with audio/visual/interactive presentation, make the printed material available online, and charge for the course! Go, Joe!

When I first looked at one of the free tutorials, I thought it was done in Qarbon Viewlets (missed your comment about it using flash movies - duh). The price is not bad and for someone just starting out learning Java, looks like a good investment. Thanks for the tip.
