i know most of you dislike IDE's, but...

has anyone ever used BlueJ (for java)?

it's looks pretty simple, much simpler than Forte. plus, it comes with built-in UML diagramming (which they all might have, i don't know) and most of the bells and whistles i've seen on other IDE's.

so i'm thinking giving it a try...

no, but I think I'm gonna give it a try too

be sure to report back to us! :)

i've played with it a little last night and it looks pretty decent. thankfully, it's not total bloatware like most IDE's that i've seen. it's little UML component appears to be quite nice, and it's got built-in compiling.

i'll give a more detailed report after i've played with it more, but so far it's pretty cool...
