any decent java IDE's?

[nuttydude]

Does anyone know if there are any java IDE's or wrappers like Kawa (windows) for linux? I tried Forte from sun, which was slow and bloated, but decent. I know theres commercial version of CodeWarrior, but its only for Redhat and Suse.

Emacs20, jed or vim..

Try netbeans - www.netbeans.org (http://www.netbeans.org)

It looks quite good, but on my machine (Celeron 500, 128 MB RAM, Linux 2.4.0-test10, IBM JDK 1.3.0) it's painfully slow.

I just use vi or xemacs, depending on my mood.

netbeans was bought up by Sun and made into the Forte' Java IDE. Netbeans was better befor sun took it over.
You could check out IBM's Visual Age Java IDE, I think you can get it as a free download from the IBM site.

I don't use emacs at all, i don't know why, just haven't spent enough time in it to like it. VI is good for normal editing, but for moving around dozens of pretty long code, it can be a little time consuming.

I will try Visual Age for linux, and see how it runs. Thanks for the suggestion.
I really like Kawa, because it isn't obtrusive and its simple and fast, i wish they ported it for linux.

I've used something alled AnyJ - its cross platform, but its java based so it can be a little slow.

Try JBUILDER 4.0

I saw blue*something* I think it was bluesky or bluebeard, but might be totally off base. You should be able to find it on freshmeat though.
