There are a number of choices, but the best IDEs are not in Debian:
- There is a free ("personal"/evaluation) version of Borland's JBuilder, but
it lacks many of the features of the professional/standard version. Not in
Debian of course, and you will have to register yourself on their website.
Comes with its own JDK I believe.
http://www.borland.com
- NetBeans is a very good IDE with support for almost anything. It even
comes with a JSP/Servlet container (Apache Tomcat 4), so you can start
programming JSPs right away. Easy to set up, too. Probably the best Java
IDE as of now.
http://www.netbeans.org
- Eclipse is a promising new IDE, with lots of cool features. However, it
is not yet as complete as NetBeans (for example, it has no visual forms
designer). JSP support is available through plugins, but is not as well-
integrated as in NetBeans.
http://www.eclipse.org
For all of these, you will need a fairly recent JDK. I believe Blackdown
(http://www.blackdown.org) has a set of 1.4pre deb's.
