Hi. Netbeans or Eclipse are perfect for this sort of thing but it's a whopping download of over 30 Megs and is VERY taxing on your system resources when running.
Try JEdit which is around 2 Meg in size with the JavaDebugger plugin if you want a smaller and simpler app and don't need the power of the other 2. JEdit can be found at: http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=download and the plugin can be found at: http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?JavaDebugger I warn you that it's very basic but you can download the necessary plugins when/if you need them and they tend to be small enough for a dial-up user to download in under 10 minutes.

I am inexperienced with Java but have many years of experience with programming in other languages. My son is studying Java at school and I am learning it along with him as I try to help him. We are currently battling to find an obscure bug in a project he's doing and have pretty much exhausted the use of System.out.println() to track execution paths and values of variables. I think that we need a graphical debugger and I was hoping that you could refer me to one. It needs to be freeware, not too large a download and preferably run on Windows but Linux will work too. Thanks, Steve
