Do you know any good Java IDEs for linux?

i'm looking for any good ones. The perfect one would have an intergrated Swing GUI editor, with a debugger and the normal projects based interface, but I will settle for one without the GUI editor.

JCreator is my windows choice, but I haven't been able to find anything like it for linux.

If you like JBuilder, it's available for Linux. Here's the link. There is a free version, called the "Foundation" version. Personally, I find JBuilder rather slow and clunky (it's written in Java), but it does have some nice features (a nice gui builder and several useful wizards).

Damn, their english version download isnt working, but thanks for the link.


I'll wait until JBuilder 5 personal comes out and then I'll give it a try.

Here are some good choices:

Jbuilder is the juice for full blown professional work...

but there are LOTS of others..

IBM's Visual Age is probably about on part with JBuilder.. http://www7.software.ibm.com/vad.nsf

Third is probably SUN's FORTE which is available for Linux now: http://www.sun.com/software/linux/resources/forte.html

Also Metroworks CodeWarrior has a very strong folloing in Linux community..http://www.codewarrior.com

Others I have heard about:
AnyJ IDE
CodeGuide
