The Pure Java IDE : Made with Java, Made for Java

'The Java IDE' is a truly easy-to-use, yet fast and powerful rapid development tool. It's 100% Java, so by adding just one small jar file to your SDK installation you can be up and running in just 2-3 minutes!

Ideal for beginners, education, and the professional development of both applications and applets. Features include :

• color syntax editing and printing;
• in-editor compile-time error identification;
• in-editor breakpoint setting and dialog based debugging;
• code completion (method list reduces as you type);
• drag & drop based Swing panel builder (and source code generator);
• built-in HTML based API help;
• framework code generators for applets and applications;
• Select and add structural elements such as 'if ((~) || (~)) {...} else {...}' at the click of a mouse;
• create jar files;
• project import and export (ideal for back ups); some sample projects are available at 'The Java IDE' home page;
• edit complete source files or by individual method.

Many features are automatic - classpath handling, indenting, {} balance checking, file save and project update.
