Java!!

[bodhi]

Hey guys, quick question.

I need to learn java, but i dont want to run linux or anything, had enough of that at uni. Im running windows xp, is there some kinda of java compiler etc which i can download? Not sure what version or anything. I guess i can just use notepad etc to enter the code, just need some idea of what i download to compile and run etc.

Thanks.

I belive "NetBeans" is a popular Java IDE that runs on windows and linux.

i haven't used anything else becuase thats what we were given by our teacher, i haven't had any problems with it but i haven't had much of a chance to really use it

FWIW .... if you DO decide to try Linux, I've written down a few notes here:

Hey,

Thanks for the replys, it took you long enough!! Just kidding. I was actually think earlier today that i would like to learn a bit of java, i never got round to it before. Ooops. So this is kinda spooky.

Anyway, is there a general concensus about the programme to use etc.? Is the sun website the best place to down load java? Its all so confusing. :-(

Yes..... SUN is JAVA no matter what operating system your using, SUN is definately the best place to go to get Java.
