I was wondering what is a good software to use to start learning programming in Java?
Hi Paragon, I mentioned before that I am taking Java this semester, if you want to know about software to program in Java....I am currently using Textpad and Netbeans, they work really great for me, and they are free, so I can recommend those to you, there might be more of course but those should be great to begin![]()
Thanks for your quick reply! I was wondering however how can you run a file in Java with Textpad.
It is really easy paragon, I think that maybe you are confusing Textpad with Notepad, which are completely different, if there is no such confussion I can gladly explain![]()
I'd recommend Eclipse ( Eclipse Downloads ).
Although I don't program much in Java, I have used it and it is very nice.

I use NetBeans (Welcome to NetBeans). It works well for me.
If you're looking to start programming, I would actually avoid starting with Java. It is widely touted as the best intro language, but I really think C is much better. Java over-simplifies things in such a way that it can give you some very bad and hard to correct habits. Furthermore, if you're just starting as a programmer, you should definitely not use an IDE. While they are certainly simpler, and offer useful features, being forced to have at least a basic understanding of how to use a compiler is, in my opinion, invaluable. Personally, I write all my code in plain old gedit.
