Yes you can use ECLIPSE which is widely used and lighter or intelliJ which requires a lot of RAM.

What I understood is that you can't use IDE to generate GUI.
so even if you use netbeans (which has a nice UI tool) you would still have to create the assignment's GUI on your own.

hi,

you can use any IDE, as long as you write the code
(you are not allowed to use generated code).

Thank you guys! :-)

I use Eclipse and hand-code GUI. It is very helpful because of code formatting help. You can use the checkstyle plug-in which I believe is recommended by one of the cert books. Eclipse is configurable without the plug-in as far as tab stops,etc. Many people have passed with good scores and used Eclipse. I recommend it.

You can use whatever IDE you want, but all the code must be implemented by yourself. You must not autogenerate code in any form.

Some free options would be:

  • Eclipse
  • Netbeans
  • Java Studio Enterprise
  • JCreator
  • JDeveloper
  • Optistic


  • Some commertial options would be>

  • IntelliJ Idea
  • JBuilder


  • There are also certain Java Code Editors that you could use:

  • Programmers Notepad
  • Notepad++
  • Gel
  • JEdit
  • Jext


  • Some commertial options could be:

  • Textpad
  • UltraEdit


  • I hope this helps!
