IDEs - Java
IDE 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 Java IDE comes preloaded with or supports Java Development Kit and provides GUI interface to the Java execution environment. Java IDEs support multiple JDK versions and the users can switch the versions based on the requirement. Eclipse, JBuilder and CodeWarrior are examples of Java IDEs.
BlueJ
BlueJ is an integrated Java environment specifically designed for introductory teaching.
lueJ supports:
fully integrated environment
graphical class structure display
graphical and textual editing
built-in editor, compiler, virtual machine, debugger, etc.
easy-to-use interface, ideal for beginners
interactive object creation
interactive object calls
interactive testing
incremental application development
The BlueJ environment was developed as part of a university research project about teaching object-orientation to beginners. The system is being developed and maintained by a joint research group at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia, and the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK. The project is supported by Sun Microsystems.
The aim of BlueJ is to provide an easy-to-use teaching environment for the Java language that facilitates the teaching of Java to first year students. Special emphasis has been placed on visualisation and interaction techniques to create a highly interactive environment that encourages experimentation and exploration.
BlueJ is implemented in Java, and regularly being tested on Solaris, Linux, Macintosh, and various Windows versions. It should run on all platforms supporting a recent Java virtual machine.
