I used to use a development tool call programmer's file editor. It was a generic file editor that allowed you to assign a compiler to different file types. It was very easy to use and was easier than working in a DOS window.

Any suggestions on a similar tool? I have not been able to find the one I was using. Something that had more Java support, like a debugging tool and an interactive syntax editor would be nice.

Thanks

Context and Jext are both ok, but I like JEdit the best.

Dr. Java was created in an academic environment, but I often whip it out at work to do coding that I don't need/want to use JBuilder for. It has a built-in Java interpretor too so you can quickly test out pieces of code without having to stick them in a class!

The most lightweight IDE - Visual Notepad.

I like Textpad, because it color coordinates code, and you can compile from within the app.
