DrJava is a lightweight development environment for writing Java programs. It is designed primarily for students, providing an intuitive interface and the ability to interactively evaluate Java code. It also includes powerful features for more advanced users. DrJava is available for free under the DrJava Open Source License, and it is under active development by the JavaPLT group at Rice University.

DrJava is a programming environment for Java, primarily intended to help students focus more on program design than on the features of a complicated development environment. DrJava also provides many advanced features for experienced developers. These features center around DrJava's Interactions Pane, which is a "read-eval-print loop" that allows users to easily develop, test, and debug Java programs in an interactive, incremental manner.
