I have a couple of decent text editors, wondering what the gurus use to code java (not in an IDE). Suggestions??

I like Notepad++ because it has a built in language highlight feature, and as importantly, a Macro recording/playback/save feature (lets you save your key typing for later use.).
Really any text editor would do, but a macro feature and a syntax highlighter are really useful features in a code editor.

I also really like Notepad++. It's lightweight, fast and does everything you need from a text-editor.

Notepad++? Notepad2 and jEdit are also good.
Of course, I go one better, not usually using Windows®, so I get gedit and Kate just for the asking

I tried Notepad++, but after using UEStudio it just seems... lacking.
I never thought I'd spend money on something like a 'simple' text editor, but I absolutely love UEStudio.

UltraEdit is the editor associated with UEStudio, which Stephan uses.

Emacs - but be prepared for a steep learning curve.

I've always liked Textpad, it comes with lots of language highlighters and java compiler and application launcher shortcuts, compile with (ctrl+1) and run with (ctrl+2)
