Can anyone recommend a good generic Java, which is not an IDE or any
kind of IDE. I am in a class learning java and the instructor hasn't
recommended one yet he just says generic. All that I have been able to
find is for 64 bit systems or is an Ide. Thanks for any help I can get.

Something simple could be just and editor that has color syntax. Also
able to compile and run from it. There are ton's out there. You did not
say what OS you will be running it on.

Jedit is a nice free one that runs on all OS's.

Any good text editor is all you need; I used UltraEdit for years before
I moved to the eclipse IDE.

You did not mention you operating system?

On the Windows platform the Zeus for Windows IDE comes
with Java support:

http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html
Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial).

It has features like class browsing, syntax highlighting,
smart indent, code folding, project/workspace management,
integrated version control etc etc.

It is also possible to configure Zeus to provide extra Java
functionality.

For example the link below describes how to configure the
intellisensing for the Java language:

and this link describes how to integrate the Java SDK
help file into the editor:

Another good editor for programming Java is TextPad. It's free, if you
don't mind a nag screen now and then. You can compile and run your Java
files from the menu. Don't forget that the java sdk has to be installed
first. I programmed all my tasks and project in TextPad for 2 years,
only afterwards I started to use IDE's.
