What is the best Java IDE?
I have used Forte (Sun).

What I really need is something that has an auto-complete feature and auto-indent. I would like it to run faster than Forte (not written in java).

I am running RH 7.1.

I don't know if it's the best, but I like using Glimmer for my Java programming. It also works with just about every other language to so it's usefull in more than one way. It doesn't do auto-complete though

Is Borland JBuilder Personal 5 any good?

Speaking of Java, anyone get the 1.4.0beta 2 SDK working? I downloaded the rpm, made the link to /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java in /usr/bin and I always get this error message no matter what I've tried:

Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Never had any problems with 1.3.1 which is still working for me if I change the link back but I hear 1.4 is a lot faster.

I use vim or Kate

Kate isn't entirely an IDE, but rather a fairly simple text editor for KDE. I really like it.

Jbuilder4 is outstanding

jEdit is outstanding and free, but it takes a bit more to configure.

I found the Kate web site and downloaded the package, but I can't figure out how to install it.

Jcreator (www.jcreator.com (http://www.jcreator.com)) is the best Java IDE I have tried as of yet.

But there's one downside to it... It's for windows :(. If you have windows on your hard drive too then I encourage you to try it out. My wish is that one day a really good programmer will come along and build Jcreator for Linux. :)

I've used jcreator and that is exactly what I'm looking for in linux. The new free version does not support auto-complete though, you have to buy jcreator Pro.

Tsk... I actually remember the days when Jcreator was complete freeware. Then the owner became money hungry. Well, I guess he has to eat too... :rolleyes:

How do I enable the mouse wheel in XEmacs?

I found this in the XEmacs FAQ: http://www.xemacs.org/faq/xemacs-faq.html#SEC137 (How do I set control/meta/etc modifiers on mouse buttons?)

but I don't know how to implement it.

I got the mouse working in XEmacs now.

How do I change the java keyword colors?
