and for compiling core java programme you can use Textpad software.

The best general purpose text editor I've found for Windows is PFE, which can be downloaded from Winsite, http://www.winsite.com/

PFE doesn't do syntax coloring, but does about anything else you'd want. It is completely configurable for all the usual stuff like auto-indent, line wrapping, etc, which are tied to the file extension. In addition its very fast, can handle huge numbers of files within an MDF master window and has the ability to pipe compiler output back into an editor window.

PFE has not been updated since 1999.

I used it until 2001 or so. I liked it a lot.

But it is not competive today.

I am using JEdit today.

If JEdit matches or surpasses PFE then that's a good recommendation indeed.

I haven't edited anything on a 'doze box for 2-3 years and my copy of Win95 is slowly dieing of bitrot. These days my main editor is microEmacs on Fedora or Microware's OS-9. Theres a decent Windows port of microEmacs too, though its probably not to everybody's taste.
