Hi Maged,
You could try and run JCreator under wine. Googleing around, there seem to be quite a few people who have done this without problems.
Alternatively, you could look at one of the IDEs that is written in
Java.
I use
JBuilder on my Redhat 7.2 system, and I am very happy with it - the personal edition is free.
Another alternatives are the Sun
IDE (I think it has been renamed recently to
SunOne Studio)
You could also look at
Eclipse which is completely open source, and I think it is supposed to be an IDE for any language. I know nothing about it though.
And then there is Oracle's IDE
JDeveloper. You can download Oracle and / or the Oracle tools for free if you are using them for personal education. From memory it had a really nice integration with the database (surprise, surprise
)
Regards
Andrew
