What is a good Java IDE? I really don't need anything too advanced. Just looking for something to compile, debug, add/remove classes. Any suggestions?

if you use KDE...you can use kate to do this.
else you can download bluej from www.bluej.org
I personally do like it.It is light and nice.
happy coding.

jGrasp is IDE written in Java so it's platform independent(where Java is installed). you can try it.

In my personal order of preference:

1. gvim - make sure you check out the scripts and tips and tricks section at the website!
2. Eclipse
3. NetBeans
4. jEdit

Thanks, I went with Netbeans...it is working out very well for me. We use Forte on campus and Netbeans uses Forte source, so the transition is very smooth. Thanks again for the suggestions.
