I would suggest netbeans for java because the IDE has been built for working with java, It can open other documents but the main focus of the IDE is to work with java. The website has many resources that can quickly get you up to speed to building different types of java applications. I am currently using eclipse IDE for php development but I have not tried building any java applications on it so I can not tell you how good it is for that. eclipse supports many languages compared to netbeans. I would suggest you try both and see which one is easier and more better.

I personally use and recommend Eclipse. It is a fantastic environment, lots of "productivity enhancing" features. It is written in Java as well, but uses IBM's SWT instead of Swing for the GUI, making it much faster than pure Java applications (SWT is similar to wxWidgets in concept, in that it wraps the native platforms controls as much as possible).Regards,z.

Hi!

I'd suggest you start off with NetBeans due to it's simplicity and, later, when you're more comfortable with using an IDE, try to switch to Eclipse. The Eclipse platform is much more popular as it can be extended to write C/C++, PHP, Java or even C# code, so you'll probably be able to find more support for Eclipse.
