Free Java IDE

Does anyone know a good free java development tool. I liked JBuilder but it is not free and the version I owned is outdated (JBuilder 3).

hi!
there are many good IDEs and other tools! i'm sure on http://www.jars.com you will find many useful tools..
i don't like jbuilder and tools like this because of the automatic code generation..
I prefer to code all by myself.. so i use TEXTPAD...

  • Simple Object Modelling and Java IDE for OSX?

    I haven't been technical for a while and I want to refresh my Java and object modelling skills. I'm looking for two things. If I can find both in the same environment so much the better.
    1) A basic UML modelling tool. All I really care about is describing a medium size object model: classes, sub-classes, attributes, relations, etc.
    2) A basic Java IDE. Don't need EJB or anything complex. Just want to compile run and debug simple Java programs.
    I down loaded Net Objects but it seems like overkill for what I want. I looked on some open source sites but almost nothing was native to OSX it all ran under Windows or required a Java virtual machine. Actually I guess that's another question, is there already a Java virtual machine as part of OSX or do I need to download one and if so which would be the best.
    I'm willing to spend a few $$ but free stuff would be better and no more than $50. So far I found one product native to OSX but the starting cost was $400+ for a five person license.

    In case anyone has the same question, I just found this very nice tool on the Apple web site called Visual Paradigm for UML:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/visualparadigmforumlente rpriseedition.html
    I'm still getting to know it but this is exactly what I was looking for. Fairly easy to use if you already know OO but not as complex as some other tools and works well on the Mac.

  • Which is the best free Java Obfuscator?

    Hello,
    I am planning to deploy my application using Java Webstart and to protect my code from reverse engineering wondered - which is the best free Java Obfuscator?
    thanks,
    Anil

    Herko,
    Thanks for your insight. With your explanation, I have more respect for your approach. I am a (struggling) one-man startup trying to get this thing off the ground. Yes, my idea can be learned by seeing it in action. That is why, advisors have told me to yank the demo from the web site (http://juwo.com)
    I would hate to see someone else steal what I have done with a lot of trouble and even worse, use my own source code to do so. In short, I dont want to be a fool.
    thanks,
    Anil
    I know the Proguard product, as well as several other
    obfuscation tools. I know obfuscated stacktraces can
    be reversed (as long as you go through the extra
    trouble of maintaining the obfuscation mappings for
    each version of the software you release). That was
    not my point.
    I work for (and am part owner of) a small software
    development company. We have invested 9 years into
    writing enterprise-quality software that is provided
    to customers all over the world. We used to think we
    needed to obfuscate our software too. However, we
    have found that the source code is by far the
    least important aspect of what we do as far as
    most of the outside world is concerned. Which
    is why we have been developing a major part of our
    software as Open Source since 1999. Which is why we
    have switched completely to an Open Source strategy
    earlier this year. That's right: all of our code is
    (or soon will be) freely available to anyone,
    anywhere.
    We have learned over the years that the most
    important aspect of our work is not the code, but the
    idea behind it. Obviously, this idea can not be
    obfuscated without defeating the entire purpose of
    the software. This means others are able to learn
    about the idea just by seeing the software in action.
    That alone enables them to implement that same idea.
    The fact that they might use our source code to do it
    is largely irrelevant.
    Going one step further, the most important aspect of
    our work is actually the way we - the people who
    made the software - use that idea solve the real
    problems of our customers. It is that knowledge our
    customers ultimately pay for, not the code.
    With very, very few exceptions the basic idea of your
    code will not be unique on a global market like the
    Internet: sooner or later (and from our experience,
    it's always sooner) someone will have the same idea.
    Their implementation of that idea might be better
    than yours, or it might be worse. What ultimately
    matters, though, is wether or not you are able to
    convince customers that the idea itself is sound.
    Customers buy solutions, not code.

  • Urgent Please........!!!!     Java IDE

    Can anyone tell Excellant JAVA IDE with Runtime Program Tracing

    I've worked on Forte, JDeveloper, and JBuilder5 in the last month or so. All are free and all are similar enough that you can get started quite easily.
    I never did manage to get debugging working properly on the latest Forte (on WIn98) but it was probably my fault,
    JBuilder5 is the tops on my list. I think you have to pay for some of the nicer debugging options (member change breakpoints, member watches) but I could be wrong. One of the nicest environments I've ever worked in.

  • Best Java IDE fo Linux

    what is the best Java IDE for linux system

    I use on three different projects three different IDEs: JBuilder, Eclipse and IntelliJ. I personally prefer IntelliJ, although Eclipse and JBuilder are very good products as well. If you need absolute stability, Eclipse is maybe a little bit early in development, on the other hand it is free and open source. Additionally it "feels" a little bit faster on Linux, because it does not use Swing but SWT which utilizes native controls.

  • BEST Java IDE/RAD tool

    What is the best Java IDE for the price? I don't currently do a lot with Enterprise Java Beans and such ... but 1 thing I really need is to speed up GUI development for Java apps.
    Any ideas?

    Free:
    netbeans.org
    eclipse.org (my current favorite)
    Both have a ton of features, including CVS integration.

  • Java IDE Security Issues

    I'm evaluating Java IDE's. My boss wants me to evaluate IDE security issues. I can't think of any issues, or how an IDE can have anything to do with security, but didn't want to sweep it under the rug without asking all of you security experts.
    Are there any security concerns when selecting a Java IDE?

    Yeah, you confirmed what I already knew I suppose.
    Unfortunately, I know nothing if this organization, as
    I'm only consulting. The management here INSISTS that
    security be addressed, but I think it's out of scope
    for Java IDE selection. Thanks!In that context, things like "supports HTTPS and ssh access for remote development" may be exactly what they're looking for. It lets managers say "Yes we considered security in making this purchase, and yes the developers of this tool take security seriously." Doesn't mean that security is ever going to impact the actual use of the product.
    Remember that a portion of any management decision goes to insuring you can show a good-faith effort to avoid problems, when/if they happen down the road and someone's looking for a fall guy...
    Good luck!

  • Java IDE Internationization Tools

    Is there any Java IDE(s) out there that have built in tools to support internationalization?

    I'm using 2.0.1. It's not a plugin - look at \Source\Externalize Strings... menu.
    Regarding Websphere - I can only imagine that it works as well or better than base Eclipse - but I'm not using WS right now, so you'll want to check for yourself.

  • Java IDE (JBuilder) cannot find J2ME's API and packages

    Hi,
    could anyone help me with this?
    I went to sun's java web site, and I downloaded and install the latest version of the wireless toolkit. I need to create a windows application that can send/receive MMS messenges, and hence the need for the J2ME's API and also WMA's API.
    However, even after I installed the wireless toolkit, my Java IDE (JBuilder 2005) cannot detect any packages like "javax.microedition.*" or "javax.wireless.*" etc etc
    Is there a place where I can download/purchase J2ME. Please be patient with me because I am a newbie in the world of J2ME... thanks :)

    When you configuring your project in JBuilder just add some jar (which you need) from wtk library in section "include"
    Project properties
    Paths
    Required libries
    and add here addition j2me libraries.

  • Java IDEs

    Hello,
    I am interested in getting some feedback on java IDEs. Is the Eclipse, Sun Studio, or Netbeans IDE better for developing desktop, web, and mobile java applications.
    Secondly, are the books available at bookstores on IDEs like the Netbeans Field Guide worth the money, or is the online user's guide better?
    Lastly, what are some good books on developing GUI's?
    Thank you.

    Secondly, are the books available at bookstores on IDEs like the Netbeans Field Guide worth the money, or is the online user's guide betterYou generally use an IDE to make your life easier. It is not science, most if not all functions will speak for themselves. The question that remains is "is this and that possible?" When you see yourself faced with that question, use the help and if that fails: there is always google.
    So my opinion is no: you don't need a book for any IDE.

  • Java IDE Netbeans does not open

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8 Java IDE Netbeans 7.0 does not open anymore.
    I've also tried to install latest Netbeans version 7.2, but installation is denied.
    How to overcome this issue?

    Hi,
    I've solved the issue. My fault, Java SE 6 was not activated after changing to Mountain Lion. When I checked the Java-Settings in the utility programs folder the system told me to install Java SE 6 first, which I did by clicking the ok-button.
    After this action everything  runs as expected.
    I also installed Netbeans 7.2 following the on-screen instructions when trying to open a program which was not downloaded from App store.

  • Free Java Packages

    Hi,
    This post might be a bit off topic, but I'll be glad if someone could help.
    I am currently creating a GUI project using Swing. I wanted to know if I could get a list of some free Java packages that I could include in my project.
    Eg. A voice recognition package that I can build my GUI around, etc.
    A link to such a website with the packages would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    If you want voice recognition, I suggest you wait
    about 5 years. Unless your users have to use this
    system for some reason, they are more likely to find
    a keyboard easier and less error prone.I used voice recognition about 10 years ago and if was possible to train it to recognice commands from a person. I used it to enable computers for people who coldn't operate normal input devices. Voice recognition is also use today by doctors to control operating equipment and by fighter pilots in situations you need both hands free.

  • Free Java Database?

    I'm looking for a free Java database. A few recommended MySQL, but after going to their site, it looks they charge and aren't free.
    The database would be used in my own commercial product that would be sold to stores. Perhaps MySQL is just free for development? Anyone know?
    If anyone knows of other free Java databases that would be appreciated too.
    Thanks,

    You can always check out Postgres. And I'm not sure if they bundle it anymore, but there used to be a pure-Java database called Cloudscape (I think).

  • Light weight Java IDE needed linux only

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a light weight java ide that will run on linux. An editor with some basic options such as auto-compelte like in jbuilder and eclipse, doesn't have to have a gui designer but would be nice if it could handle packages and such. I'm running 128 mb of ram RDRAM and a p4 1.3 ghz and i'm getting tired of all these ide's not responding every 3 minutes. Could someone please recommend a light ide for java??
    Thanks!

    I mean why can't you use Eclipse?With only a 128MB of RAM Eclipse is going to struggle. I would second the other posters suggestion of looking at JEdit. But the OP might want to splurge and buy some more RAM, regardless of what editor they end up using.

  • What java IDE is the best one?

    What java IDE is best ?
    What java IDE are you using?

    I agree that you should decide on what you want your IDE to do.
    How important is a GUI builder?
    Do you need support for, say Java Server Faces?
    Do you frequently work with XML files?
    etc, etc.
    That being sad: IntelliJ Idea ist the best in many areas, the most important one being usability. This sounds like a small deal, but as each and every feature is very-well implemented, it really boosts productivity.
    Currently it falls short in some areas, like support for Java Server Faces.
    "dingfelder": Where did you get these numbers from? Last I know, Idea was the third most used IDE.
    Also "quantity of users" is as good a criteria as the checksum of it's installer file.
    There's a saying in german that literally translates too "Eat sh*t - milliions of flies can't err." Sorry for the french, but you get the Idea I hope.
    Oh no, I can't believe that I posted on yet another "what IDE is best" thread. And even more so in a forum that should deal with other stuff.
    David001, I hope you're not simply a troll.
