Java compilers for linux

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

Does anybody know of any java compilers for linux, i plan to purchase Suse 8.1 Personal soon and while i already have the SDK's for linux already downloaded i don't seem to have any compilers or anything else i might need.

At the moment i have to use winblows on my laptop which isn't what i want.

The sdk includes the compiler (javac). That's the whole point of it.

yes yes sorry, what i meant is, a program that will use the sdk.

Like at the moment i use a program called pfe which is basically a notepad type program with more functions and the Dos prompts linked into it.  I want that along with the SDK.

BAH! basically i want a linux version of pfe!!!

You want an IDE. I'd recommend bluej or netbeans. These will give you a lot more functionality than PFE (debugging, GUI builder etc.)

isnt there a gcc-java compiler or somethin?

[flap]

Well yes there is a GNU java compiler. But that isn't what he's looking for.

why not use Xemacs? doesn't it do exactly what you do with PFE but better and with more features?

Crunchy(Cracked) Butter. I write all my java programs in vim. It is a very capable editor and believe it or not, very easy to use. I compile the programs on the command line.

javac FileName.java <== to compile
java FileName <======== to run

Ok Borland makes a great, if not bloated, development environment for Java on linux. Its called JBuilder and it is downloadable for free from http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/


By the way, all my programs (simple as they may be) are open source.....lol

Urm sorry but the best IDE for Linux, Unix, Windows, Dos, any anything else supporting it is this thing called vim it will be included in your Linux distro!

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

Well okay i will look around for your suggestions.  I'll see what is the status on vim, last i looked it wasn't with the personal edition of suse 8.1.

vim is an editor, not an ide.
