java development kit(JDK) is what you need here,
it consist all the tool require for java program development.
java program will execute by jre(java run time enviroment) which is included in jdk.

I second eclipse. I'm using Eclipse Helios, and the plug-ins are great. I know NetBeans also has some pretty good plug-ins, but Eclipse already one me over.

I learned several simple thigs as:
:
Syste.ou.println("Some text here");
Also learned :

:
int euro = 1;
int dinar = euro*100;
/*Dinar is currency in Serbia*/
System.out.print("You have to pay: ");
System.out.print(25*euro);
Really like it now :D
Can you guys tell me what else should I learn and its simple of course?

You can look at http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/ (http://[url=http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/). You can develop on on an android device or your computer. It is what I'm working with now, and seems fairly simple.

This is my first post and I'm glad I found this forum.  I would most definitely second using Eclipse and I have also learn a lot about java recently using mybringback tutorials on youtube.  I haven't gotten the chance to look through the exercises mentioned in the sticky.  Also, thenewboston has some too, but they don't really show you how to use what you learn.  Good luck.

lol oops.. xD yes i typed the wrong one :P
eclipse beats netbeans without a doubt, unless you want to prog in Java EE and don't want to bother with the plugins etc..

I wonder how you can say with such assurance which of Eclipse or Netbeans is the best.


Both are good, yet Netbeans is faster, lighter, richer, and much much more nicely coded than Eclipse. However, it falls far behind plugins-wise.


I've been working with Java for four years now and still use both, depending on the project and/or my needs ;)

I didn't read everything in this topic but I need to say that if one is going to start learning Java, then he should write programs in a text editor and compile everything by hand.

Why?

IDEs are great. I love working with them. It is very hard  to work on big projects without them. But when it comes to learning, one needs to know how a programming language works from scratch. Eclipse is just going to create packages for classes and compile stuff without the user knowing what is going on behind all that.

So my advice is just work with a text editor for now. Compile everything in a terminal (if using Linux) or CMD (if using Windows). Learn what is to be learn about the basics of the language and then move to an IDE.

About an IDE. I love Eclipse.

That is exactly my opinion too.
But 6 months after the inital question was raised it won't be of any use to the TO.

Ups. I just saw this in the unread section and answered. It's not the first time I read and answer old topics because I forget to check the date. At least the advice stays here, lol.
