Hi cowboys,
I find it a pleasure to code in jdk & notepad rether in Textpad/UltraEdit/Kawa etc. I think for exam purpose it's
nice to have a feelings to find out where the compiler is
complaining an error rather than easily be notified by the
third party tools.
What do u think pals?

Personally I like UltraEdit - the syntax coloring and search facilities are great - I also like the recent file and favorite file capabilities.
I finally got around to learning how to use the advanced tool configuration to execute ANT build commands. ANT is a very cool MAKE utility from jakarta.apache.org

Thnx William!
It's a great honor to have ur opine. Anyway i m appearing the SCJP 25th August and then I want to start preparing for SCJD. Should i start with SDK for J2EE edition from then or some other third party tool? Will UltraEdit suffice there?

I do agree that while learning Java one should be fimilar with as many error messages one encounters
One can learn lot more from error messages
after all when one complies java code and gets error messages and he rectifies that error, successful compling encourages more to learn java

But in my personal opinion, using some IDE will also aid in our programming, even for the exam purpose. For example, i am using Forte from Sun, it will let you easily locate the help file simply by pressing Ctrl+F1 when you highlight the keyword. And plus, it can automatically format the whole file in a nicely indented way, and more. I don't think notepad can do that. :-)

Hi Guoqiao,
Nice 2 hear ur opinion. But the inability of notepad is the power behind it. When i was initially coding in Java there were lots of compiler error. What i had to do is to search the very words causing problems. As i did not know of other editors, I had to work heard to find them out.:O It turned me (as u also r) to a human compiler. If i would have got Kawa, Text Pad, Ultra Edit then may be my progress would be slower. But the help and indenting facilities is nice to hear. Now I'll move to Forte or jakarta or textpad/UultraEdit.
Thanks again Guoqiao, Marqus and Kumar.
