Since my trusty ancient Java IDE doesn't run under Vista, I'm looking for an
IDE that will do basic formatted editing with syntax checking and allow me
to debug applets running in a browser. I don't need refactoring, I don't
need CVS, and I don't even need it to make my JAR files.
So far I've looked at Eclipse, which seems bloated and intrusive in offering
to modify code for you. I'm also looking at NetBeans, which seems intent on
organizing your folders for you and offers to open a browser but I don't see
how to debug an applet in a browser. NetBeans has a "community" but I
registered for it and never got the password (I have no email filtering).
I've seen mention of IDEA, jEdit and jCreator.
What would be a good choice for a basic IDE that would allow me to write
code, make classes, allow debugging using a browser, but otherwise not try
to organize my code for me?
