Need a new IDE

Thread view:

Bonk - 07 Apr 2005 14:42 GMT

I am a newbie, who up until recently was using realj to write my java
code. I went to download realj again but it appears that realj.com has
been hijacked and no longer exists. Does anyone know where I can get
this software now?

Also does anyone have any recommendations for a free IDE that might be
a little better than realj? I've played around with jbuilder and
netbeans and found them to be too "robust" for my limited knowledge of
the language. I am looking for something a little more basic.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to try using Google to search for RealJ or David Mold (the
author). I did a quick search and most the shareware sites link back to
realj.com (which is gone). So you might be out of luck.

This is what happens when people don't support shareware.

Try jEdit. http://www.jedit.org.
This is not an IDE, but very nice to edit Java code and also open sourced.

After installing jEdit, you should try jEdit Plugins.

BlueJ (http://www.bluej.org/) is supposed to be very good for learning
Java - haven't tried it myself though.

I had a look at it and then recommended it to a friend of mine starting to learn Java (and programming).
+ Does it's job nicely.
+ Is not overly complicated.

you may want to try "Jeliot 3 " from the extension page.
This shows you what goes on in your program in a graphical way.
(BlueJ itself also contains a debugger)

I use it myself, whenever Eclipse seems overkill for a short try at something.

I'm not that familiar with RealJ, but if you're looking for a Java IDE
that's pretty basic, you might want to try JavaTools - see
