if you are looking for Java Integrated Debugging Environermnt, then the most popular free Java IDE is Eclipse:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
The second one is NetBeans
http://netbeans.org/downloads/
and one also very good is IntelliJ Idea
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
look for Community Edition - which is free
If you just want simple eidtor of java source - witithout all that environement, debuggin etc., I recommednn tio use TextPad which will rrcognize java and nocel color the sorce
http://www.textpad.com/download/
it is very conveneient text editor for most peurposes

I like TextPad, and I tried Eclipse.
Just a quick question, does Eclipse not actually install into windows?
It looks like it is self contained on the folder I extracted it to.

yes - Eclipse is very simple - jaut exapnd into folder and c.lick on eclipse.exe
I guess Eclipse does not need to write anything into registry and does not do any embellishments which they normally do when they create the installer
So you undersatnd that Eclipse and TextPad are of course very different.
But of you need just briefly to look at some java program - TextPad is quite OK, I usually make it so that when you double-click .java it opens with textPad

Yes, i like TextPad right now because my needs are very simple since I'm just beginning.
I think as I move along, I might understand and need Ecplise's functionality more.
by the way, is TextPad free?
It didn't ask for money when i got it, and ran fine, but after awhile, it had a notice asking if i want to continue using it for free, or something like that, I didn't concentrate on what it was saying.

Yes, once in a while when you'd vbe saviing file - it will ask that question.
If you click Continue using - you can continue for ever
If you click Continue using - you can continue for ever
Of course for real programming - you need IDE like Eclipse
Difference for programmeer between TextPad and eclipse - is like difference
between toycar for 5-year-old and and last year Lexus model
TextPad is good for quickly glanicing through the code - taht is true.
If you start develiopoing something say only 10 times longer than Hello World program,
then IDE will save you a lot of time

I'm sorry, I should have asked while I was at it. Is Eclipse free?
I found how to buy TextPad, but didn't see something for Eclipse.
