[java] Java editor

I personally prefer editors written in Java (there''s a few good ones out there... Eclipse is good, IntelliJ IDEA is also really good. Heck, even jEdit is pretty good -- and fast for a Java-based java editor). But if you must, I would recommend...

Textpad... it''s not free, but you can use it for free forever (if you can put up with stupid little popups). There''s no auto-complete, no refactoring, nothing fancy -- but it DOES do syntax highlighting.

JCreator is a good one. Strictly a Windows app and loads fast. There is a free lite version that is decent. Technically it is an IDE, but it won''t get in your way if what you need is simply to edit.

Value of good ideas: 10 cents per dozen.
Implementation of the good ideas: Priceless.

To maintain the ballance ...

There are many editors with color syntax ...

and even some good javatic (written in java) ones do not take soooo long to load

Windows based, C++ coded
___________
my pick would be TextPad for sure. Powerfull, simple and extremely easy to use (but NOT FREE)

Javatics
___________
Arachnophilia
and
JEXT
(both free)

and IMHO even a K6-II 400MHz, 256MB RAM running under RedHat 7.3 starts these two in under 10 seconds ...

so take a pick
