Java IDE featuring debuggin, step execution

[Kapil Sachdeva]

Hello friends,
I m using editplus, freejava editors for java programs but these editors do not have the debugging, step by step execution, add watch etc like C++.
Can u please suggest me some editors having these features and their URL to download them free.
thanx

Kapil,
If you need a lightweight, debug-capable IDE, go for Metamata (www.metamata.com, the personal edition is free). I managed to run it on a P133MHz/64MB/Linux box.
Otherwise, try Sun's Forte (offered when you're downloading JDK) or it's open-source sibling NetBeans, www.netbeans.org. Or Borland's JBuilder (www.borland.com/jbuilder, the Foundation edition is free). Both require a powerful machine (128MB RAM at least and a decent processor).
Also JDE for Emacs/XEmacs has debugging support and you might try it if you use Emacs (sunsite.edu.dk/jde if I recall correctly).
Hope this help,
Greg
