Hi Terry,

It depends how you define "best" IDE ;-) ...

But here is a short list of popular IDEs:

- Eclipse (free) - http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
- Netbeans (free) - http://netbeans.org/
- IntelliJ IDEA (commercial, but has a free community edition) -
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Several third-party offerings exist that bundle the base-Eclipse
distribution with additional features/plugins E.g.:

- SpringSource Tool Suite (free) - http://www.springsource.com/developer/sts
- MyEclipse (commercial) - http://www.myeclipseide.com/.

Eclipse is probably the most widely used Java IDE (here in Atlanta).
There are many developers that swear by IntelliJ IDEA, though. It
literally boils down to personal preference.

Lastly, specifically for learning purposes, please also check out
BlueJ - http://www.bluej.org/

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Gunnar
