Re: list of java guis

HI,

I'm a programmer, but have very little experience with java (school).
Recently, I was asked about java GUIs. What are the most common GUIs
used, and the most supported?

My next question may be off topic, but I'm not sure how it fits into
the GUI libraries. When you talk abou java, you here references to
jdk, javabeans, etc. What are they, and what is the difference? Are
they compilers, environments? Any explanation or links would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,


Typically this question is asked at least once a week. You can go back and search the Google Groups.

The major free ide's are JCreator, JDeveloper, Eclipse and Netbeans.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html
http://www.eclipse.org
http://www.netbeans.org

The major commercial ones would be IntelliJ or Websphere.

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea

JGRASP and BlueJ are free and where created and used in academia.

http://www.jgrasp.org
http://www.bluej.org
http://edu.netbeans.org/bluej

BlueJ is recommended if you are starting Java or in early stages and want to lean how to code in a OOD\OOP style of Java. Netbeans has a BlueJ Edition for people who want to step up from BlueJ to help you migrate eventually to their full blown Netbeans.

Roedy's website has a comprehensive list:
