Java Compilers

'K... I'm looking for a good Java compiler... in my cse class, we're using BlueJ, I have a copy of MS J++... BlueJ is fairly unreliable, and J++ hasn't been updated since like Java 1.0. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good Java compiler?
 
im using textpad. small and fast. gives u colors for the different symbols.

a more complex one is forte! for java, but that literally hogs up ur resources.

jbuilder is small, too, but i never figured out how to use it. for some reason, i couldnt call to any other class, even though i put them in the same directory.

those are the only 3 i've tried, and i recommend textpad. all of them are free.

dont forget to get ur java standard developer's kit, too. im sure u knew that already though

Yeah, I have SDK 1.3... yadda yadda. I'm trying JCreator right now, it seems fairly impressive.

Do you know if there are any conflicts yet with the SDK 1.4 release?
 
Second JCreator (even though I don't use JAVA much).. it has the same feel/layout as the MSVC++ IDE (which I really like).
 
I played around with Forte from Sun for awhile, thought it was pretty neat but I don't really know how it compares to all the others.
 
IntelliJ IDEA is the best Java IDE on the market, hands down. I have been coding Java since 1996 and have use them all (Visual Cafe, Kawa, J++, IBM VAJ, JBuilder, JCreator, Forte for Java) and IDEA blow them all away with it's practical approach to easy coding.
