I have been serching for a text editor that will high light the reserve words and count brackets and so thourth. while I have tried a number no of them seem to to the job,or don't run at all. While the ones that work are demos with out rages prices for the real thing. I am looking for somthing that is inxepencive but works well as java programing is a hoby I do in my spare time.

Try TextPad (http://www.textpad.com) It's shareware and rather inexpensive. Not sure if it will count the bracket for you, but its my favorite text editor.

Textpad will check the brackets for you .. just put the cursor next to a bracket and press Ctrl + M and it'll find the other bracket for that block .... comes in handy when you think you've missed one!

Try KAWA I think it is the best, you'll find it at cnet : www.download.com ! Ok, it is not freeware, but you'll find the crack @ www.astalavista.box.sk .
