Hi,

Which is the best light weight Java IDE without unnecessary heavy weight features?

I just tried "tide" it looks good, but the code formatting is not that impressive. Is there any other similar IDEs available?

I'm looking for very basic fundamental features to handle plain java code. (rather than bulky Eclipse, Netbeans or other commercial IDEs).

Any thought is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Below are a couple of IDE's:

1. BlueJ - For learning interactively. For beginners. See this link: Blue J

2. JCreator - A lightweight free IDE. See here: JCreator

I think JCreator also having lack of auto code formatting option. I think, "AStyle" configuration for code formating with tIDE is better than JCreator.

I'm not a beginner... so BlueJ is not my option anyway...

Any other suggestions?
