    Well, there's JBuilder and JCreator. I believe both cost money to register. Then there is Forte, its a free download from Sun's site.

    In my opinion, there's nothing better than Notepad, though.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    there only is ONE compiler to use and you can get it off of the sun java site http://java.sun.com

    as for editors/ides you can you use JCreator LE its freeware http://www.jcreator.com or if you have decent box you can use NetBeans, its like Forte but w/ less bugs, http://www.netbeans.org

    I am using JCreator, but I'm not happy with it because I would like the ability to develop GUI interfaces graphically but JCreator doesn't have any facility to do this. What about netbeans?

    both netbeans and forte have GUI builders like VB, i'd recommend netbeans tho: it's open source.
