Java IDE's

I was wondering what are some of the best Java IDE's available, either for money or for free download. The only one I have tried is Jbuilder.

Thanks
 
I don't know if you know this, but Jbuilder Pesonal Edition is free.

I prefer simpler IDE's like JCreator, since I mainly just want line numbers and a built-in option to compile for me. There's an LE version that is free.
 
The Eclipse project provides a Java IDE in their base package; I've just started using it and I've found it to work well. Eclipse is an extensible IDE, so you can load modules that allow it to work in other languages as well.
 
As in the other post....check out jcreator. You wont' regret it.

Also....fwiw....you can use UltraEdit w/ the f9 key and command line capture w/ the sdk compile command (javac) pretty nicely too, as long as your paths are set up right.
 
another vote for the free IDE Eclipse. Can be integrated with Tomcat app server easily and works great! Supposedly you can do the same with WebLogic and Websphere but I have not tested it. I hated JBuilder when I used it at version 4. The use of my mousewheel in Eclipse makes it worth it.
 
2 recommendations :-

1. Free -- > Eclipse, great features, great community ... modules let you add functionality real easily.

2. Paid --> Intellij IDEA ... my favorite IDE, great features, not too bloated, very intuitive interface ... the list goes on (you can download a 1 month trial and get hooked)
 
I second Eclipse. I love it, the debugging features are superb, and the code formatting features are excellent as well. It also integrates with Resin so you can debug web apps too.
 
I agree Eclipse is my favorite that I have used so far.

I have used Eclipse, Visual Cafe, JCreator, and JGrasp
