Code Editors
IDE (Integrated Development Environment)combines the editor, compiler and other useful tools in the same software package. Its advantage is that when a program with syntax errors is compiled, the programmer sees the error messages and the original program at the same time -- this makes debugging much easier. Also, some IDEs contain debuggers. Visual J++, VisualAge for C++ or Java, Java WorkShop, and Visual Caf�?�© are IDEs.

A code editor is typically a text editor with programming language libraries installed. The editor recognizes programming keywords and renders them in the specified color code (known as syntax highlighting). Other features include code beautification and compiler integration. In some cases, code editor is a scaled down version of IDE.
