Looking at the 'spec sheet' on the site (www.jcoder.com/detail.html), I am quite unimpressed with its feature list.
Without exception, every single feature listed is already in both NetBeans and Eclipse -- and are not new features to either platform. The /only/ thing that sets this IDE apart from the industry leaders is the fact that it is written in C++. But then, I cannot find any evidence provided by the website to support the assertion that being written in C++ makes "it fast and efficient with a small memory footprint, comparing with Java based editors/IDE's." (quoted from http://www.jcoder.com/product.html) I would suggest something along the lines of JEdit, NetBeans 6.1 (JSE-only version) or Eclipse Ganymede (JDT-only version) for beginning Java work. Or as, another poster mentioned, BlueJ. NetBeans and Eclipse are pretty much the industry standard IDEs and will be able to provide additional features as you need (or want) them. allen cheung wrote: > I'm a Java beginner and now sourcing a lightweight Java IDE for my > school projects.
